Ceci n’est pas une allumette

– December 8, 2008

Casio offered me a small high-speed photo camera (Exilim series) so that I could propose them some personal work for them to show. I used the technical ability of this camera to produce a small abstract stopmotion. I did shoot photos a match being lighted and another one being blown-out. Then i re-combined the shots to produce this animation. I don’t think Casio liked it but I do.

My dream is simple: having a few of my photos living longer than me...
