Reverb is a proposition imagined around the first series of Nicolas Comment, photographer and singer-songwriter. The images dialogue here with literature, poetry and the very object that is the photobook. Among those he has made are La desserte (2001), Le point (2003), L'oiseleur (2003), A*** (2004), Fading (2006) and Est-ce l'Est (2008), his Berlin romance. "The images of Reverb, full of grain and intermediate lights, were all made with a film camera, mostly in France, from the forests of the Massif Central to the Breton coasts. On the road, beside a river or in some secret hotel where particular, melancholic smells sleep, marvellous wallpapers. Comment's 'reverberation' is the story of a trajectory in space and time: the dream, the verb; the luminous reflection and the echo chamber; the observation of a signal and of its trajectory, between the moment of the shot and the moment of the exhibition. I re-read and crossed the images, as one might do with words and rhymes, so that they could dialogue differently, in the manner of a poem".
