PHAOS

Exhibition co-curating with Nekubi and Kavala Photo Club (Greece), from 28 march until 12 April 2025, in collaboration with the sound artist Nikos Soterelís.

"...and somewhere there, sometimes in the tangible ephemeral and sometimes in the invisible eternal, the unseen thread that connects man to infinity highlights the uniqueness of every moment, every image, and every thought. Photography, as an expression, develops the intensities of forces and images and manages to adjust them to the essence of the world around us. Light is not just a tool. It becomes a living vein that links physical reality to the supra-terrestrial, the material hypothesis to the depths of the human soul. And the photographer, the channel who, with the edges of orthogonal consciousness, becomes a receiver and a poet, transforming visionary matter into art and communication.  

Photographic notes and accidental journeys, a herbarium exploring the coexistence of the human soul with the living world and the constant oscillation between opposing elements, beyond the surface. Through the artistic work of photographer Claire Jevanoff, light as PHAOS plays the role of a primordial element and an active force in the visible universe, as well as in the process of time. Darkness and light become opposing games of creation and destruction. In the explosive energy of this movement, man recognizes the invisible connection with the fabric of the world, the air, and the body, sensing that he is part of a universal dance, projected into infinite spirals, in an eternal game of symbiosis and transformation.  

The Phaos series highlights inner depths and instinctive quests, capturing the passage from darkness to light as the act of creation. It is an approach that does not follow logical explanations but rather opposing ones. It is filled with hidden intensities and random forces in constant dialogue with memories and the materials of a psychic consciousness that comes to life in moments of human coexistence. The photographs in this project dive into the depths of the earth, into primal memory and consciousness, in order to express an undefined and eternal perception of creation and the Universe. Each image is a clear reflection of the visible and the invisible, where the boundary between microcosm and macrocosm collapses, and the two opposing dimensions become stories of ascension, rebirth, and evolution."

EN BAS DE CHEZ MOI JE JOUE

Downstairs from my house I'm playing - Exhibition from 2024 to 2025 at Nanterre, Quartier du chemin de l'île. One picture in each of the nineteen buildings of the  neighborhood with an additional series in one of them.

With the Plastikeuses as part of the cultural summer and supported by the DRAC Ile-de-France, the workshops allowed us to set diverted sports objects in motion. The context of the Olympic Games inspired us and made us want to put the body back at the center of our interactions and creations.

Sports practice is a way to weave common stories, through physical surpassing. But where does it start?

We have found the starting point of expression through the body, of bodily communication.

These photographs are the traces, the memory, of dancing and moving bodies.
