Human being perceives relief and locates himself in space thanks to the coordination of his two eyes. This simple assertion is at stake in the Télé-vision series, which is conceived as a representation of seeing in the form of a photographic portrait. In the manner of a stereoscopic vision, in which the combination of two images is essential to the apprehension of space and volume. Each photograph embodies the point of view of a single eye, both for the viewer and the model. The entire series thus proposes four similar but unique portraits, presented in pairs, in the image of the gaze that is cast upon them. By placing the viewer in front of the decomposition of the gaze, the series underlines the way in which the omnipresence of images modifies our relationship to the world. The transmission of sense experience through words is slowly replaced by a truncated two-dimensional world constructed by images.
