J’aime ces instants suspendus, dans la boule entre les mains du jongleur et dans les yeux clos de la jeune fille. En outre l’aspect graphique de la photographie du jongleur donné par les projections des deux personnages à ses côtés n’est pas pour me déplaire. Cela donne même une texture pixelisée à sa chair. </p>http://lumen-via.com/post/50425445750http://lumen-via.com/post/50425445750Tue, 14 May 2013 18:06:00 +0200black and whiteperforming artsphotographers on tumblrshadowsartists on tumblrprojectionscreen artobernaifranceThomas Simon<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/371e101348429a07ce58bd0dc80ae684/tumblr_mmdt9xZEBS1rgs9k4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Out of time bike” Thomas Simon, Strasbourg, May 2013.
