Étienne Perrone is a photographer and filmmaker trained in cinematography. For over twenty years, he has explored the city as a mental territory. He walks alone, often at night, in search of scenes no one is watching, strange lights, and inhabited silences. He uses colored flash as a sliding tool, revealing a parallel dimension in the mundane. His aesthetic, cinematic and sensory, captures suspended moments—between solitude, vertigo, and fiction. He doesn't document reality: he displaces it. Each image becomes a gentle crack, a slow apparition, a potential world. His works question our gaze: photography is that place where another reality is revealed. It's not about seeing more, but about seeing differently.
