A portrait of French artist Mustapha Azeroual. Rather than attempting to capture reality, his photographs look for what lies beyond the visible. Focusing only on the most basic visual elements, the artist creates abstract compositions from photographs taken in his studio and in natural environments. It matters little whether his camera lens is pointed at a forest or a lake; his technique avoids any hint of the figurative to retain only the essentials of light and colour. Filmmaker Jean-Marc Gosse provides an insight into Azeroual’s working method thanks to magnificent direction and skilful editing. The resulting short film is captivating and full of rhythm, mystery, artistic reflections, and music, perfectly in step with the artist’s work.
