Stéphanie Foäche

Sur le départ, turquie

To seize the moment, to flush out the unusual go back very far... I first tried to do it by drawing, painting and then by photography. Four years between Paris and Istanbul led me to take over the boxes I had installed a few years earlier and start working personally on the spirit of the place. Strolling and wandering at random interests me more than choosing a destination or a subject. I try to enter into osmosis with the places, to capture their singularity, to immerse myself in them. My photography is introspective and subjective... It focuses on atmospheres, ambiences and fleeting moments... those where time seems suspended... Compose a language of emotions, offer a different perspective, share the poetry of everyday life, soothe with images..... In a world whose rhythm is accelerating and in which noise is omnipresent, my work invites meditative contemplation and an intimate dialogue with silence. Let everyone imagine their own history and settle in.
