La Courtine is a portrait of two young men —
Alexis and Fabrice, living in a remote countryside.

They are childhood friends of mine,
surrounded by vast fields and nearly empty houses.

They live in a state of suspended solitude
and freedom, spending their time as they wish,
moving between boredom and intimacy.

I act as an active observer
of the emotional bonds that tie them together.

The images are soft and restrained,
their muted tones evoking silence and distance.

Time unfolds slowly, in rhythm with the seasons,
far from the noise of cities.

The project reflects on the balance
between isolation and freedom in rural life,
and contrasts it with the overwhelming
saturation of urban existence.
