Small landscapes
Revisiting our daily lives

Small Landscapes is a contemporary photography series that explores the urban landscape through ordinary and often considered banal subjects: dilapidated buildings, tagged trucks, suburban houses, abandoned caravans, anonymous fragments of our daily lives .

Through a process of decontextualization , these elements from the urban environment are isolated from their original setting and then placed in spaces that are not their own. This deliberate displacement creates a visual shift and invites us to question the way we look at these familiar objects.

By extracting these forms from the usual flow of the city, the series transforms the banal object into a landscape in its own right. What seemed insignificant becomes presence, volume, matter.

Small Landscapes thus offers a reflection on how we perceive reality and on the ability of auteur photography to reveal a discreet, silent beauty, nestled in the heart of the ordinary.
