Born in the south of France, Franck Mortier was first a sculptor, prop master, filmmaker
then decorator and spent more than thirty-five years imagining and building atmospheres
suitable for the games of actors, film and television directors.
Today, having returned to the sources of his imagination, he offers us photographs taken during
walk in the Var forest. With poetry, his photographs reveal secret passages that only
a trained eye can discover. Punctuated by shadows and lights, the phantasmagorical undergrowth
seem to conceal frightening chimeras or simple metaphors of the mind.
I don't photograph what I see, but what I feel. Each of my photographs
is the echo of a journey that I carry within me, an odyssey to learn to see beyond the
tangible reality. Explore the recesses of the imagination and rediscover the fragments of dreams that
I had forgotten.
Exploring this journey gives me this immense opportunity to reactivate and share this
part that is in us and that constructs our reality by passing through palpable moments, like
seeing a tree through a vibrant light that reveals it and in the “photosensitive” act
allowing you to share your poetry.
In this series "Nature", I guide the visitor on an odyssey to relearn how to see. The path
The proposed route starts from the coastal area and goes into the forest (Varoise) to discover the aspects hidden from view and finally “see” the most subtle through an abstract image like a reflection in the water.
This journey is supported by poetic texts that surround the viewer in introspection and intimate connection with their own nature in order to remind us that we exist in a world filled with beauty and mystery.
Frank Mortier
Nature has provided everything, you just have to be sensitive to it.
