Description
A solitary silhouette immerses itself in the darkness of calm water. This shot captures a moment of suspension. The man, with his back to the viewer, seems to be observing the horizon or surrendering to silence. His upright posture contrasts with the fluidity of the liquid surrounding him.
The composition plays on a marked contrast between the deep shadow of the basin and the silvery gleam of the surface. This diffuse light creates a sharp visual boundary. The gaze is thus guided towards the center of the image, where the human body meets the elements.
The work relies on an existential reflection. The photographer explores here the relationship between the individual and the immensity. Space becomes a place of meditation. The stripping away of the scene reinforces the solemn aspect of the gesture.
The visual rendering favors a rigorous sobriety. The image ends with the subtle reflection of the suit on the water's surface.

Vincent Citot, L'homme du lac

Vincent Citot

France  • 1975

Presentation

"Born in 1975 in Paris, I practice photography right out of childhood, replacing the pleasure of drawing.

Lacking inspiration in Paris (by my fault, not his…), I only take the camera out when traveling. The rest of the time, I teach my research in philosophy.

Beyond the necessary compartmentalization of these activities, it seems to me that my photography is impregnated with existentiello-philosophical questions. "
