James Osmont
James Osmont is a Brest author / photographer. Demanding in photography but always dreamlike in his approach, he approaches wandering, the passage, during his DIVAGATIONS. A concordance of looks and respective works allowed this friendship, then this collaboration. The pieces Nuées and Phoenix in flight split into proses in 2015 for his book.

In the dark dance his own memory. That of time passing.
This secret haunts him since even a ghost disappears,
a myth is lost, a truth dies, an existence is forgotten.
There will never be more than passing . He wanders. He wanders. He builds up often.
He runs away sometimes. It is the moment, but does not support it.
In this fire, its state devours it. He can no longer believe.
He does not hope for tomorrow. Yesterday, always, repeats itself.
Then, only, it revives, and raptures, re-gives birth and is reborn,
amazed at this doubt. The one who, alone, allows him
to accept the beauty of being, there, like a
