Shivers is a series of landscape fragments, of objects, captured in a ghostly zone. During his drifts through various tourist sites, various nature reserves around the Mediterranean Sea, Sébastien Arrighi is sensitive above all to the margins of these stereotyped spaces. Traces, shocks, sounds. An energy charged the landscape, with a dull intensity, like a shiver going through the body in the dark.
Only the fires say offers a methodical sequence of images a visual and perceptive narrative. The assonances and dissonances between the impressions (hot and cold, empty and full, slow and fast . ) are orchestrated by subtle transitions, thanks to which each image is "read" in the light of the trace left in memory by the previous. The idea of ??combustion is prologue from the first image. It thus introduces a leitmotiv that will soon deploy throughout the book, the fire announcing the end of a season. Through a methodical sequencing, Only the fires say forms a visual and perceptual story. The assonant and dissonant impressions are subtle transitions, each image being "read" in the light of its predecessor. The idea of ??combustion is suggested in the work's very first image.

SKKS is part of the code found on license plates in Slovakia. Borrowed from the European Union's nomenclature of statistical territorial units and the international license plate codes, these four letters indicate the origin of a vehicle: SK for Slovakia and KS for the Kosice-okolie District.

"Capturing a few small moments, Not All is a series of photographs that constructs a singular picture of Southeastern United States and evokes the passage from Winter to Spring, and the upcoming birth of a son. Pascal Amoyel develops his own subjective approach to photographing this territory, which exists both as a concrete stretch of land and as a fictional space onto which we project our imagination. These evocative lyric associations with the country counterbalance the documentary underpinning of the series. Not All is a poetic journey where people and places emerge as a muted representations of daily life, which thread through the book, reminding us that the everyday is unfathomable. "- Anne Immelé
