Seeking for a long time words to express this sharing of experience that are the photographic narratives without text or legend, John Berger writer and art critic, revealed to me the deep meaning in this short text from his book
« Another Way of Telling: A Possible Theory of Photography. »
London, Bloomsbury, 1982 :

« In a sequence of still photographs, however, the energy of attraction, either side of a cut, does remain equal, two-way and mutual.

Such an energy then closely resembles the stimulus by which one memory triggers another, irrespective of any hierarchy, chronology or duration.

In fact, the energy of the montage of attractions in a sequence of still photographs destroys the very notion of sequences (the word which, up to now, I have been using for the sake of convenience). The sequence has become a field of coexistence like the field of memory.

Photographs so placed are restored to a living context : not of course to the original temporal context from which they were taken -that is impossible- but to a context of experience.

And there, their ambiguity at last becomes true. It allows what they show to be appropried

The world they reveal, frozen, becomes tractable. The information they contain becomes permeated by feeling. Apparences become the language of a lived life. »

A purpose that drives and guides the creation of my books.
