Microgravity by Jean Lambert

About Microgravity
It is a deliberately minimalist staging work during the shooting: a place, an acrobatic performance and a camera. This way to get the maximum effect with the minimum means is one of the key principles of my work.
The scenes, photographed without any tricks or artifice, play with a particularity specific to photography: the instantaneity. This series recalls that the photographic technique offers a unique opportunity to fix the movement and confronts the observer with an unreal physical dimension of space and time where a new reality is revealed. The suspension of time creates the illusion of escaping from gravity and unveils a new show: the theater of the static moment.This illusion of defying gravity like a child's play represents for me a metaphor for freedom. Floating in space, in fact very briefly, extends indefinitely on the surface of the paper.
