During a stay in New York the two decided on a game: when one caught a scene, the other was invited to do the same. Wandering that extravagant place, they took a double look at different neighbourhoods day after day, each equipped with a Holga 6 x 6 toy camera, the first loaded with black and white, the second with colour. In the end they selected fifty images, thirty-six of them assembled into black-and-colour diptychs and fourteen standing alone. They then asked the poet Albane Gellé to write from their images; she composed twenty-two short texts.

“No more scalpel cuts and blinding contrasts: here is the city and its pedestrians bathed in the thickness of the air. Where the city used to be represented as a modernist setting, here it is inhabited by an interior world.” — Michel Poivert
