In Jean-Luc Moulène’s photographs, everything is in between.. Moulène shows us various forms of strolling and going for a walk in the “disjunctive” landscape of the present. In doing that, he is concerned with encounters – between person and person, between person and object, between object and object. Serge Daney describes a stroller’s act of perception in the age of moving images as being comparable to Moulène’s.
“Since I don’t particularly like acts of daring, I always need transitions from one thing to another. To stride from one place to another. Fellini’s greatness lies in the fact that he would never show us a place without showing us what is going on and what happens after that. He develops his films with a stroller’s logic. The stroller accepts the idea that the spectacle has already begun.”
