About ‘Unexisting‘:
Shot in the South of France during an artist residency by Magnum photographer Antoine D’Agata these images are dealing with perception and the impossibility of memory. Looking in particular on the element of time in coexistence to reality. How our perspective is fading when reinterpreting places of the past.
The work is inspired by the writings of Jean Paul Sartres “Nausea“ and the feelings he describes towards reality. Questioning the existence of the things around us – that the presents is just as fleeting as the past.
