Intimacy, silence, and distance

Being agoraphobic means being constantly confronted with yourself. It's defending an ordinary life. To be agoraphobic is to observe an inner duel where the unconscious always comes out the winner. To go out is to suffer. Laurent built up on this and managed to transform his suffering into a strength. Provoking motionless journeys, experiencing the creation of macro-portrait. The photographer plays with distances and space. His "Mulholland Drive" series, included in the book, was born one summer night under the Cheviré bridge in Nantes. These pictures are bewitching, timeless, almost frightening, caught in the darkness of an urban setting.
