« Ukiyo » borrows its name from the Japanese concept that life is impermanent, like everything that belongs to this world.
For all is illusion: beings pass, vanish and reappear endlessly.

The series follows a mute wandering, when photography becomes the only available language for re-establishing a dialogue with an environment that may be familiar, but which suddenly seems foreign, as if transformed into an evanescent backdrop.

Walking the disembodied streets of everyday life by day, projecting your own psychological state into details as you go.

Immerse yourself at night in the anonymous crowds of clubs, where the music envelops everything, making a pulse beat again in a kind of reassuring abandon, where the concrete, real, living body is at the center.

« Ukiyo » accompanies this search to reclaim one’s space, rediscover the contours of a safe haven and one’s identity after injury.
