It evokes Monsieur Hulot's Holiday by Jacques Tati. We think of Antonioni's Blow Up. But there is no murder, nor, for that matter, any topless girls to be discovered in the enlargements of the postcards found at flea markets. We realize, however, that in these universal clichés, there are individuals, you or me perhaps, who are simply playing in the sand, or walking near the beach, and that we have strangely moved from testimony (I was there) to recognition (I am there). Certainly blurry and blurred, but present. This series received the Eurazeo prize in 2021.
