Torii P – Ove-vi
by Prangé France

From inside to outside, from day to night, from the profane to the sacred, from environment to landscape. Each of these sensitive spaces is a threshold where I conduct visual research on the relationships between space, light, and perception. I focus particularly on the sensory and emotional aspects of these connections, seeking to capture the collective feelings they evoke within a shared culture—what I call luminous feelings. This in-depth work, initiated through photography, extends—within an anthropological approach—into the study and mastery of materials and savoir-faire that shape and manipulate light. From this emerge different philosophies, each offering a way to inscribe light into the everyday space, in service of the senses. I approach each piece as an expressive and functional transposition of luminous feelings. They come together in collections around a single evocative element—whether it be washi paper, contemporary stained glass, or the artificial night. Through images, lighting objects, and installations, I bring my practice and research into resonance within manifest pieces capable of conveying the sentiments of light.
