"There is the instant retained by photography, but there is also the image that appears instantly, which we owe to the Polaroid, the instant camera. The photographer chose to dedicate this process to the pictures he makes of his daughter, no doubt because it has something magical, hence playful, and amplifies the pleasure of the shared moment. […] And the book that is born of this set of shots takes on the dimension of a work as it acquires its autonomy. The object frees itself in a way from the author and from the protagonists of the story told: the picture is no longer looked at only for its link with particular beings, circumstances and places. It also speaks to us of childhood in general. It is then for the viewer to take over this story, to identify with the father or his daughter, to let themselves be won over by the tenderness and fragility of this world." Gabriel Bauret.
