Le Mont Né
The book is designed as a survey, or rather an elusive quest for a priori. By immersing themselves in this dark and serious, the first impression is that of a spontaneous loss of bearings. In setting up this empty and timeless as the author takes the viewer to a "distant" unknown. Progress is slow and uncertain, but the empty lot is slowly transformed into a track record of coded markers that Jean-Michel Fauquet place with precision and meticulousness. Placed in the dark, indeterminate objects made of a material openly fictitious, seem to exist in an area inaccessible and exhale the perfume of forgetfulness; From fantasy characters roam these pages. From the outset, his approach resembles that of an alchemist. Use of paper, media, printing processes, it makes its own universe. Everything goes in his apartment, where there are piles of boxes and papers. There he cut and shaped objects. Every day after work is finished, he walks the streets to pick up the papers. Next comes the creation of objects, long imagined in great preparatory drawings. He staged the photo, make prints in black, that always seem inhabited a surreal clarity. The negative is sometimes retouched, and some prints are worked in pencil, pen, or painted to change the light. Jean-Michel Fauquet the patina then wax to give them new life.
