Rain Painting
These shots (all in Paris), from an ensemble entitled "Rain Painting", are made WITH rain on a windshield. Rain is both a material and a photographic prism. It creates blurring effects, and a blurring of the lines, a tremor that can make you think sometimes of pictorial impressionism. The effect is always dependent on the type of rain: spat or downpour, slow pace, serene, or nervous and fierce. All these passers-by, often with a colourful umbrella, seem to create a worried choreography, a sonorous pantomime.
