Têtes chercheuses

Têtes chercheuses is a series of images taken at airshows, from which aircrafts have been carefully removed. They evoke a series of rockets equipped with homing heads, in search of a target we do not know the type and an action we do not know the nature.


Têtes chercheuses propose une série d’images libres prises lors de meetings aériens, dont les appareils ont été enlevés à l’aide de procédés classiques de manipulation d’image.

Ce qui m’intéresse ici est la puissance transformatrice évoquée par ces tracés aériens une fois les aéronefs supprimés. Ils évoquent une série de fusées (pas forcément missiles ou militaires) équipées de têtes chercheuses, à la recherche d’une cible dont on ne connaît le type et d’une action dont on ne connait la nature.

C’est ce mystère et ce potentiel, en tous les cas transformateur, qui m’intéressent ici.
