Antoine Ollivier's statement
While I mostly practice a spontaneous photography, the scenes I capture are often devoid of human figure, rather resting on an usual or singular details or a set of things to project an evocation of a mood or an emotion, in a poetic and perhaps sometimes symbolistic way. The human dimension in the image residing thus in that association to a certain feeling that I leave to the viewer’s interpretation.
The images composing the series Thrive or Strive were collected between 2013 and 2015 are focusing on plant life within urban environment and make use this peculiar context to convey the concept described earlier.
