"Michel Mazzoni uses photography, video installations and text to explore concepts such as time and space. He shows, exposes, installs his territories. His decisions are often harsh, since he questions abandonment, desolation, so much so that he seeks beauty beyond appearance. His work is permeated with a sensitivity that pays attention to the interactions between the immateriality of light, the point of view and the requirement of the frame, as a permanent confrontation between perceptions. It is enough to see, take time, one could say. Then he examines the maps, observes the cities, travels around, the visitor of the erasure, and the traces that have disappeared, somehow makes an archeology of the intangible, and interrogates through the light, long after the ephemeral.
Michel Mazzoni works and lives in Brussels since 2007, Straight in the light is his second book. This book was selected and debated at the Prix Fernand Baudin 2011. The award for the best books from Brussels and Wallonia. "."
