‘Marche Céleste’ was conceived in response to Alexis Pichot’s day-to-day life in the city: “intense, noisy, often breathless.” It emerged from more than a year of nocturnal immersions in the Forest of Fontainebleau – a place of physical and spiritual regeneration. Pichot journeyed alone, and at night, into this “strange and fascinating” world. These images are dialogues with nature, in which the cycles of the moon exercise a powerful influence. A disc of hypnotic light stops time, whilst light and darkness dance a neverending waltz. Elsewhere, the emblematic rocks of Fontainebleau take on the appearance of meteors coming from another world.
