Description => the man who traps birds

a few years ago, not far from my neighborhood, there used to be some kind of 'carnivale' where oddities were exposed... like the flying fishes, the head juggler, not to mention the freak show... and the so called "oiseleur"... the story tells that this man was able to decompose himself and mute into a horde of birds that got free... as if they were trapped inside his own body...

But at the same time children went missing... each time the show was on disappearances were reported... but before we could make a link, the carnivale disappeared itself overnight...

The day after, while going to work, i found a piece of paper stuck into the windshield...it happened to be an entrance ticket to the 'oiseleur' show... at the same time a huge group of birds passed by shrilling. I could swear for a second i heard some children's screams....

This is so creepy It gives me the chills. The description is great. I love the combination of photography and the wrinkled paper: it's as if the photo is on the paper, and at the same time, the paper is a window to what you see on the photo. Just... wonderful.

Ah, l'Oise, l'Eure... que de bô départements français !!
Ok... j'arrête...

Bon, comme d'hab, une fois plus tout est dans l'ambiance, le côté "ramassé dans la poubelle de mémé", ce côté sombre, mystérieux irréel et terriblement prosaique par ce côté papier froissé... Mélange d'impressions, à la fois simplicité et profondeur, naïveté apparente (de par l'histoire que tu racontes) et noiceur complexe. Mes mots sont maladroits mais mes yeux comprennent...

J'ai mis un peu de temps à comprendre mais c'est ce que j'aime aussi dans une image, surtout qu'il y a pas mal de détails à voir ici.
C'est marrant mais depuis quelques temps tes images me font penser à Eraserhead de Lynch, du moins l'ambiance qui s'en dégage. On navigue constament entre poésie, nostalgie et surréalisme, le tout agrémenté d'un sentiment d'inquiétude.
Une vision bien personnelle finalement.
Encore bravo Mister !

oh la girafe est là
Si en plus, tu te mets aussi à raconter des histoires, c'est géant
J'aime bien là encore tes symboles de l'enfance qui sont à la fois mignons rassurants et inquiétants. J'aime toutes les 'petites' choses que tu mets dans l'image, les détails qu'on ne voit pas au premier regard et toutes les idées qui en découlent, les notres, les tiennes ...

Cool elle manque peut-être un peu de lisibilité en bas, le fond me semble trop sombre pour que la silhouette s'en détache.

effectivement j'ai eu du mal à me décider pour l'histoire de l'arrière plan... finalement j'avais opté pour quelque chose de crépusculaire avec du contrejour et avec un paysage flou... et j'ai failli faire cette scène dans un tunnel ...oui bon je sors
