TRIPOLI-
FRESCO :

I am apparently tightly bound to the Mediterranean. I grew up in Nice and took my first photographs under the lights of Cap Corse at the age of eight. Twenty-one years later, having never lived abroad, I left for Tripoli knowing almost nothing about this city.

.

Photographed between 2021 and 2022, the Tripoli Fresco presents a wide variety of images, ranging from geographical contexts of the city, to scenes of daily life, as well as portraits.

The documentary direction of the Fresco is inseparable from personal experience. It is therefore likely that in these images, you will look at me as much as the inhabitants of Tripoli. Watching me discovering naively, making mistakes, hesitating, adjusting and going more in depth with those I meet.

.

There are two versions of the Fresco: a book and an exhibition. Each gives the other more nuance. These versions exist within a larger system including: a series of videos, archives giving access to the photographs not selected for the book and the exhibition, a mobile application and a website. This device has two goals: to deepen the Fresco from angles that the exhibition and the book do not show; to allow the public to reappropriate the work in order to use it in different ways.
