Revealing the landscape while walking into it. Recording my passage. Dissolving into the image.

From of a series about Montreal alleyways at night, putting the emphasis on the vegetation that’s encouraged to let grow in a Green Alleyways program. A simple flashlight beam is painted in the scene, during a long exposure, while the photographer walks into it, revealing it—even creating it, as nobody ever sees the entire scene as it appears in the image, not even the artist while the image is recorded. The landscape is modified by the presence of the photographer. The image condenses the unfolding of his intention and action—in a paradoxical attempt to grab and permanentize how ephemeral his passage will have been.
