Portraits d&rsquo;une vieillesse insoumise Quand l&rsquo;\u00e2ge devient un acte de r\u00e9sistance \u00ab\u00a0Je suis toujours l\u00e0. Je vois, j\u2019entends, je ris, je r\u00e9siste. Et je n\u2019ai pas fini de vous surprendre.\u00a0\u00bb La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 nous dit que la vieillesse, c\u2019est l\u2019effacement. Qu\u2019on doit dispara\u00eetre poliment, laisser la place, devenir transparent. Mais il y a ceux qui refusent. Apr\u00e8s Silhouettes, o\u00f9 j\u2019explorais l\u2019invisibilit\u00e9 comme un cycle naturel, ce projet c\u00e9l\u00e8bre ceux qui choisissent de rester visibles. \u00ab\u00a0Je suis vieux et je t\u2019emmerde&rsquo; n\u2019est pas une insulte. C\u2019est une d\u00e9claration de libert\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb Pr\u00e9sentation du projet Le concept : Un diptyque pour chaque portrait Chaque personne est repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par deux images qui dialoguent entre elles : Un portrait en noir et blanc avec de la farine : La farine, c\u2019est l\u2019\u00e2me, la m\u00e9moire, l\u2019\u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re. Elle \u00e9voque ce qui reste de nous quand tout le reste s\u2019envole : nos r\u00eaves, nos combats, nos rires. Un portrait contextuel : La personne dans son environnement, avec des poses exag\u00e9r\u00e9es, des accessoires symboliques, ou des mises en sc\u00e8ne th\u00e9\u00e2trales. Pourquoi ce diptyque ? Parce que la vieillesse, c\u2019est \u00e0 la fois ce qu\u2019on a \u00e9t\u00e9 et ce qu\u2019on est aujourd\u2019hui. Ma D\u00e9marche Artistique Le noir et blanc comme langage universel Le noir et blanc \u00e9pure l\u2019image pour ne garder que l\u2019essentiel : les formes, les \u00e9motions, les contrastes. Contrairement \u00e0 Silhouettes, o\u00f9 je capturais des instants vol\u00e9s, ici, je travaille avec mes mod\u00e8les : Je les interviewe pour comprendre leur histoire, leurs combats, leurs r\u00eaves. Je les mets en sc\u00e8ne pour cr\u00e9er des images qui racontent qui ils sont. Je collabore avec eux sur la direction artistique (environnements, tenues, accessoires, poses). \u00a0 R\u00e9sultat : Des portraits qui ne sont pas de eux, mais par eux. Un livre pour ceux qui refusent de dispara\u00eetre Ce livre est pour eux. Pour Marie, pour Jacques, pour H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, et pour tous les a\u00een\u00e9s excentriques que je vais rencontrer. \u00ab\u00a0Je suis vieux et je t\u2019emmerde\u00a0\u00bb, c\u2019est un hommage \u00e0 ceux qui choisissent de rester visibles, de continuer \u00e0 interagir avec le monde, de d\u00e9fier les attentes.C\u2019est aussi une r\u00e9flexion sur la vieillesse comme acte de r\u00e9sistance : et si vieillir, c\u2019\u00e9tait juste une autre forme de libert\u00e9 ?
