Originally from the island of Reunion, Thierry Fontaine is the author of photographs he imagines observing around him the social movement patterns depending on where it is located. The movements of these models entail meetings and new contacts. Crosses resulting intermingle to give interbreeding. These contacts alter the established models, generate questions. Unlikely encounters antagonists, made possible by the artist, from situations with models he creates characters, prepared scenes, sculptures and objects specially manufactured, accurately organized in a chosen context. He puts them on stage and photography.
