With a limited depth of field and an offbeat perspective, Thomas Gauthier focuses on the slow corruption of places and renders a puzzle of the world to be rebuilt with a poetry left to everyone's gaze. He compresses spatial dynamics and brings to the fore his obsessions with walls, tarpaulins, panels and trees, seemingly insignificant elements that obstruct the view, but which reveal the deep shadows and pure forms of the city.

By summoning a pre-existing reality and putting it back into play with each image, Journées evokes vague memories, dreams, like these human silhouettes, these urban specters exposed to their vulnerability, which bring us back to our own daily temporality.

"Journée is a stroll. It is a visual poetry, a photographic story with an autobiographical character that offers a free interpretation of reality. The series is set on my daily journeys. The ones we walk through every day to go to work or to go shopping. Those times when we are glued to our phones or lost in our thoughts. In a society where nobody takes the time to look at the familiar space that surrounds them, I show here that the ordinary, the mundane, the routine can be full of poetry if you take the time to observe."

About — EYD is an independent publishing house created in 2018 by Caroline de Greef that aims to explore and promote contemporary photography by publishing artist books. Time and its daily lyricism are thus at the heart of the various works published by the young publishing house.

The desire to bear witness to this world and the intention to introduce emerging artists is also just as tenacious as the desire to support them over time. This young catalogue shows today's world with its human failings and ordinary miracles and will continue to be built according to these themes.

The collaboration with artists is intended to be sustainable as a mutual support and a shared emulative trust - like that which binds the artist Ilanit Illouz and EYD, the first published artist whose work has since been rewarded and acquired by numerous institutions (Jeu de Paume, Paris Photo, Prix du Public Arles 2021, etc.).

EYD works with photographers and artists Élise Toïdé, Thomas Gauthier, Tokio Okaida, Anna López Luna, Mounir Gouri.
