INTENTION
Mathieu Forget approaches the Deauville Sport Images Festival as a playground where sport becomes a visual language. Here, performance gives way to gesture, suspension, to that split second when the body enters into dialogue with space. It is within this in-between, between balance and fall, tension and lightness, that his work comes to life.
Through his images, he develops a writing of movement, almost choreographic, where architecture becomes a partner and the body a poetic anchor point. Each jump, each line, each silence expresses a way of inhabiting the world.
Presenting his work in Deauville means placing this exploration within a broader resonance: that of the image as a sensitive memory of sport, but also as a space for aesthetic experimentation. The festival becomes a place of circulation for perspectives, emotions and interpretations, where photography, movement and contemporary creation meet and extend one another.
