Images of Nuit optimale ont been made between September 2004 and May 2005, at night and in urban areas. The photographer recorded sources of artificial light, oscillating between a distant echo of narrative realism and the boundaries of abstraction, through a constant denial of the development. Like Mémoire vive, his previous book, the images are accompanied by written notes during the shooting, in a more brief, however, in correspondence with the wandering thoughts made possible by wandering at night.
