The book is designed as a survey, or rather an elusivequest for a priori. By immersing themselves in this dark and serious, the first impression is that of a spontaneousloss of bearingsIn setting up this empty and timeless asthe author takes the viewer to a "distant" unknown.Progress is slow and uncertain, but the empty lot is slowly transformed into a track record of coded markersthat Jean-Michel Fauquet place with precision andmeticulousnessPlaced in the dark, indeterminateobjects made of a material openly fictitious, seem to exist in an area inaccessible and exhale the perfume of forgetfulnessFrom fantasy characters roam these pages.
From the outset, his approach resembles that of analchemist. Use of paper, mediaprinting processes, itmakes its own universe. Everything goes in his apartment, where there are piles of boxes and papers.There he cut and shaped objectsEvery day after workis finished, he walks the streets to pick up the papers.Next comes the creation of objects, long imagined in great preparatory drawings. He staged the photomake prints in black, that always seem inhabited a surrealclarity.

The negative is sometimes retouched, and some printsare worked in pencil, pen, or painted to change the light.Jean-Michel Fauquet the patina then wax to give themnew life.
