Street: Honorable Mention 2018 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
FRESNEL is a spotlight on anonymous streets, where meetings are woven, destinies intersect. The city is the theatre of order and disorder, of black and white, of fullness and emptiness. She stands in the midst of a daily newspaper with an out-of-scope illness and metastasized through a destruction of nature, a social fight, extremism of all kinds, money openly featured ... the dream, the fantasy and the photographic act become more than ever a little hope for a small balance, a small breath during a walk in apnea.
