DAILY BREAD

JEAN-MARC CAIMI 

30 May - 29 June 2014

Intro

When the cloud of dust spread by my own presence settles, the view of the present gets clearer, it rejoins with an emotional past. People, places and time passed, waiting for something, lost and found. These pictures represent a rite of passage through my own existence, the connection to the natural and unnatural worlds we inhabit.
Sex, food, nature, animals, the city where I live, my son, relationships, fleeting encounters, friends and family, are archetypal, belonging to a common DNA, the essence of our very biology. They are at the root of my existence, hovering in the pictures of my life. Sometimes there is tranquility and safety. Other times there is flux and danger. Discovery can be euphoric and even when knowledge brings pain and discomfort I welcome my vulnerability as an emotional lash to arouse the soul. I sense an excess of energy, a palpitation, that could be subtle or violent, which I want to photograph. There are no dots to connect. I am no more giving a sense to things.
I hold to hear their murmur, instead.
