the lovely, barely there photographs of Loan Nguyen | photographer






























" In the morning mist, the barely visible figure of a woman. As
if on a tight rope, she walks along the edges of a stone pool, one
step at a time. Close by, the same figure appears, creating a hand
shadow on the wall of a rough concrete building, or contemplating
its reflection in the calm waters of a lake...Recollections of childhood
games, moments when one discovers in bewilderment that we are
actually part of this world. Human presence discretely seeps into
the landscapes, softly slides in. A posture, a slight gesture... and
a link is established. A shadow is cast, an object is picked up, a
reflection is seen : the effect of a being on his surroundings always
remains slight. The body may then make its imprint by proxy, by
mere projection. Points of contact appear, bonds are woven, and
these minimalist spaces become territories of introspection"
(...) Raphaƫlle Stopin in Nextlevel no.4, 2003

i think the only true similarity i see in the photos is the geometry of the lines shown.

though, i suppose that makes it even more interesting over your being reminded by it, considering such a detail came yelling to you.
