Le Temps Suspendu

Qatar has been one of my places of residence between 2007 and 2015. The country was buzzing, travelling towards the future at a dizzying pace. Doha, the capital is the beating heart of its nation. The future is already in the present, while at the same time the past is merely clinging on. My work on Le temps suspendu questions about these lost tracks and conceptualizes memorial sites. My idea was to capture the memory of something doomed to disappear or which has never really existed, namely the memory of a country with very powerful traditions but which, strangely, struggles to preserve its past, preferring instead to reconstruct a past out of elements of the new. I therefore went in search of this lost time with a feeling of emptiness and abandonment. I call upon memory and imagination through the romantic accents of the landscape. Ruins, stones, fragments, the desert, water, timeless characters. A certain melancholy is expressed in my images, as if I wanted to monumentalize these subjects.
