This series of photographs proposes the personification of a transitional phase. Representing the ghosts that one can find in some people or others, left in our past, reproducing illogical or repetitive acts. This metaphor can apply just as well to precise periods of life as to the Anthropocene era in all its globality. How will this senseless and uncertain race conclude? We imagine a future in which beings could have fused with crawlers, today’s pests, for example.

It is a perspective of the present that would unfold only through the prism of the past and the future, without any consciousness of the present moment.

The loss of meaning, moving house, marriage, separation, disappearance, mourning, or the roles we impose on ourselves can resonate differently through empty walls where everyone can project themselves, as during a visit to a new living space.

The photos are 53 in number; during the selection process, we chose the images that captured movement, those that felt the most instinctive and effective on a sensory level. The final number of photographs exhibited may vary, as some images may be added or removed depending on the space and the narrative that emerges in situ.

The series was created inside an empty apartment belonging to friends of ours who were in the process of moving out. This context infuses the images with a feeling of rupture. A place between two states where the photographs, especially the ones in motion, become fleeting apparitions—ghosts of gestures, emotions, or roles that no longer fully belong to the present.
