TELLTALE

Like a voyeur witnessing an intimate scene

EVERYONE’S STORY / NOBODY’S STORY
SPIED THROUGH A KEYHOLE

Degas draws essentially in brothels, he calls prostitutes into his studio equipped with a large number of vats of various types. The woman is the subject, the intimacy, the harmony of her body. TellTale is the prying eye, a controlled coolhunting in which the spied models pose without showing their face or letting it be glimpsed; it is only the body, the natural movements, a back, the arms. Mere introductions to visual stories that have no confirmation because they are suppositions.

Data without verbal interactions; the story of everyone and no one. Spying without invading; observing without excessive emotional involvement; the gaze that rests without judgment.

EXASPERATE OR CAMOUFLAGE TO CONFUSE THE INDISCREET EYE.
SUSPENDED STORIES, UNEVOLVED INPUT, VISUAL CLUES IN UNDEFINED PLACES.

The exact moment when the models, sensing they are being watched, look at the camera.

THE STORY
OF EVERYONE
THE STORY
OF NO ONE

THE INTIMACY
OF
INSTANTS

A GAME
OF
INTERCHANGEABLE
ROLES

THE
STUBBORN
OBSERVATION

A SILENT LANGUAGE

AN EYE WHICH WELCOMES AND ABSORBS

AN EXTERNAL REALITY TRANSFERRED INTO THE INTERIORITY INTEGRATING DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS

The story of everyone, the story of no one.
Between the intimacy of moments in a game of interchangeable roles.
The stubborn observation uses a silent language.
It remains before an eye that welcomes and absorbs.
