Street Workout - Entre rigueur et machine
Through this project, I aimed to connect various aspects of physical training, particularly street workout and fitness. Inspired by Hellenistic Greek statues, the photographs of muscles are predominantly in black and white to evoke the idea of sculpting a body, thus creating organic and lively forms.
These images contrast with architectural photographs, characterized by geometric shapes and mysterious dimensions, their occultism reinforced by framing or exposure. This unknown, futuristic aspect is further emphasized by still life photos, with vibrant colors and similar, highly standardized and structured forms. The concept of color is echoed in the images of hands, the most important tool during a workout, which are mostly active, adorned with magnesium, holding dumbbells, or wrapping fingers, linking the action and movement of training with the placid and frozen aspect of portraits when an athlete strikes a pose.
