Through a narrative in the form of sequences, Useful Lies is part of a continuity while renewing the photographer's approach. After Ensemble Seul, this second book in a collection that will eventually include five (from black to white), shows the artist's final years of creation.
While he devotes his quest to technical perfection, he also brings a new facet to his formal experimentation. The repetition of the process is thus always grappling with an intimate and personal search, but this time the latter is tinged with a new light. The tension shifts towards the presence of a new (fictitious?) hope, embodied by a spherical, spectral form, which navigates from image to image. This sphere is this useful lie, this candid optimism inherited from positive thinking which imposes itself on us when it comes to forgetting the tragedy of the world.
