A photographer of substance, Stephane C. seems to search for light in the darkest hours of the night. Whether his subjects appear from thin air or disappear before the viewer’s eye is all a matter of perspective. Communicating through violent contrasts of coal black and electric white, blurred image, and long pause, his photographs introduce us to a strange and magically troubling universe.

In between. This is the title of Stephane C.’s photographic display, a kind of way in to an ambiguous world. It leaves us to imagine that this cycle has no beginning and no end. Stephane C. is engaged in this haunting gesture of taking photographs. And no matter where he is or what he does the key point is to extract the veil of uncertainty from things. As if the sum of appearances would show the world only a fragmented and vague vision forever vibrant. These images do not reveal another world, it is definitely ours, but the photographer, with touching sincerity, attempts to bring its wounds and wrenches out in the open. An extreme attempt to match, from a photographic point of view, real life with its double imaginary life. Just like wishing to make nighttime enter daytime.
