St Jaques is an interesting district in Perpignan with a history. A deprived area where Gypsies and Arabs live together. My attention was also drawn to the activity in the streets with their southern European appearance. Are the traces that must have been left with the inhabitants of this socially disadvantaged neighborhood an attack on their self-esteem? There had to be something to discover. It should be possible anyway to summarize this in my image. To achieve that goal, I deliberately chose for each of my shots, the repetition and uniformity in the way I took them together with a carefully considered composition.In short, similarity in reproduction, but because of that with attention and space for the casual and the unexpected. Depicting a mood representing the true nature of this neighbourhood. A realistic pictorial world that also consists of coincidences. I have never asked the residents to pose. They are present. Sit, stand or walk if my camera focused on them.
