Furia Major
I began grafting at seventeen, or at least that’s what I thought.
Taken on at the Mini-Théâtre de Marseille with Maurice Vinçon, pure joy.
Graphic designer, composer, pyrotechnician, photographer, I’ve never worked a day in my life. Twelve hours a day very often, pure joy. My lucky star.
Grew up in Marseille. Lived in Paris, Marseille, here and there, Luc-en-Diois, Lyon, Marseille again, Cucuron for a good long while, Brussels, Liège, here and there once more.
Photographer, poster designer for theatre and dance. I remember Cirque Gulliver, the most beautiful circus in the universe, l’Attroupement, Théâtre de Lenche, and many others. Scraped by in advertising agencies too, improvising invoices with imaginary licence numbers - the statute of limitations applies.
All of it just to live off music. Studio Travaux. Creating, touring, for theatre and dance again, with Vincent Lambert, respect. For Yves Borrini, pure-hearted. Ilotopie in its audacious days, and others besides. In between, extravagant rock drummer, five years with Leda Atomica, Phil Spectrum, lovely guy.
Stage director and pyrotechnician with the daring Groupe F, alongside Christophe Berthonneau, admiration and tenderness, and the whole crew. Coastal runs and long-haul ventures. Adventures. Comrades. Travelling, contemplating, powering through, stress, little sleep. Pyrotechnics. Large-scale productions. The crowd, a wild animal with ten thousand pairs of eyes. More than fifty countries.
Travel is alkaloidal.
All the while, Catherine, César, Zélie, pure magic.
Photography, always, again and again. For each subject, an aesthetic. A dialectic. An imaginary world. Interpreting, doubting, walking, walking still. Seeing. Meeting.
Ruminations. Contemplation. Waiting. Capture. Developing. Printing in large format between the bed and the kitchen table, close at hand, day by day.
Pure joy.
Until the shutter curtain finally closed.
