Afterword by François Cheval
Published autumn 2022
A photographic journey to the confines of our perceptions, DYSNOMIA paints a world where the infinitely small is immensity, where forests are made of the same material as the stars and where fire dances with the shadows of men. Alexandre Dupeyron probes the secret substance of things, constantly moving and elusive, in order to lead us beyond what they seem to be.
DYSNOMIA, between musical score and cinematographic editing
The book is designed in a cinematic and musical way. Each photo is a note of an analog score between photography and sound. Using cinematographic processes, each image can follow a loop of images, forming a rhythm where interstitial images appear.
The images all have the same treatment and take up the idea of the 35mm film format. Dysnomia thus reveals several facets, where content and form interact.
Japanese binding allows, through its materiality, to link the front and back pages in a continuity reminiscent of that of film stock.
The sound generally encoded at the bottom of the film also appears on the back of the images, the words become sound waves.
