Sei uno che per principio non s’ aspetta più niente da niente.
Ci sono tanti, più giovani di te o meno giovani, che vivono in attesa d’ esperienze straordinarie; dai libri, dalle persone, dai viaggi, dagli avvenimenti, da quello che il domani tiene in serbo. Tu no. Tu sai che il meglio che ci si può aspettare è di evitare il peggio.

Eres alguien que por principio no espera ya nada de nada.
Hay muchos, más jóvenes que tú o menos jóvenes, que viven a la espera de experiencias extraordinarios; en los libros, las personas, los viajes, los acontecimientos en lo que el mañana te reserva. Tú no. Tú sabes que lo mejor que cabe esperar es evitar lo peor.

The story first, declined in geometry. French photographs by Yvon Buchmann are surprising for the ability to combine “humanist” photography with formal rigor where prospective conjunctions play a non-secondary role.
The result is an almost perfect construction of images, in which the objective seems to be the search for a stylistic balance between the subjects living there and the surrounding space. Everything, people, objects, shadows and lights dividing space together to enrich a narrative where, sometimes, there is a spontaneous irony, soon captured.
Balances, to be always present as a dosage for a good image success. An image that does not lack respect for the greats of photography and that Yvon Buchmann reveals that he has loved – and absorbed the lesson – when in his work he lets out the “Bressonian” signs of the moment in which everything is composed and takes on a visual and evocative effect.
The “shape,” it was said. In Yvon Buchmann the composition is sacred: everything must be revealed in that rectangle that we call photography; and as such, becoming an autonomous object, he takes on the dignity of work becoming an artistic reality. But what is most surprising in Yvon Buchmann’s work is the rigorous geometry, the heaviest perspectives that invite us to an unmoving dynamism and a careful look at detail. And the sidereal distance from the commonplace. (Giuseppe Cicozzetti)
