“From Somewhere Else”, is a series of 20 photographs. I have photographed animals in different places and displaced them in a different environment. The pastoral idyll is replaced by our European ideology of landscape, populated with animals considered as "exotic". Most of these animals, photographed locked into zoos, go round in circles, caused by a lack of space. Nevertheless, these zones allow them to exist still a little longer for our "pleasure".
These refuges allow us to observe the wild, the unpredictable, at a good distance and safely. The animal may still holds us in respect, he reminds us to the socialized Human, the principle of origin, the truth, which precedes the language. We think then of the animal as the sort of witness, ready-made to become judge of our usage of freedom.
