Racine in Proust

Racine in Proust interrogates memory, theatricality, and classical structure through a vertically stacked photographic triptych. Grounded in Marcel Proust’s recurring references to Racine’s tragedies in In Search of Lost Time, the series translates dramatic narrative into stark, silhouetted topographies. Organic forms emerge against luminous gradients, echoing both distant horizons and dark stage sets. Through repetition, inversion, and high-contrast chiaroscuro, the work mirrors the mechanisms of Proustian memory—where classical discipline serves as a vessel for lingering light and emotional depth.
