Description: The scenes François Goffin captures seem to be collected along the path of a life which is his own. His photographs fixate on the everyday and the basic, with nothing being really surprising or exceptional. Clouds, children, stones, landscapes, objects, water, and more sketch an altogether tranquil picture bordering on superficial mediocrity, yet collectively these images encourage intensity. Tracing the uncertain contours of life, recurring motifs subtly add rhythm to this collection of images. Goffin occasionally interjects something to break the normalcy, a scrap of visual dissonance that signals emotions ? passion, attraction, freedom ? when everything seems too beautiful and calm.
