"The sky is high, the earth is low; only the table and the bed are at the right height." The discovery of this anonymous proverb set everything off. Inspiration always appears without warning, clinging to some small thing that resonates in us and urging us down a path of creation that did not exist before. The Mignardises project was born of this delicious little phrase, which embodies a very French, vaguely disenchanted existential stance that admits the trivial nature of the human condition, halfway between gods and beasts, and invites us to enjoy it simply, at human height. Shown at Galerie Le 29 during the International Festival of Culinary Photography in Paris and at the launch of Radical Dining Society in England in 2012, then at Galerie Le Triton in Les Lilas and at Bé2M in Nantes in 2013, the series has also appeared in magazines such as Raw Photo and Regards. The book brings this jubilant compilation, which allies the salt of wit with the pepper of the flesh, to its conclusion.
