Taking pleasure in leisurely strolls, Cedric Delsaux extracts his images from the banal and the déjà-vu. Though sought after by art directors, Del saux nonetheless finds time for a parallel and personal visual world, at the border between the real and the imaginary. He frequents the most improbable places on the lookout for invisible vibration, echoes of his childhood emotions. A virtuoso of the mastered illusion, he never abandons reality, but never makes any claims about it either. Shunning fashionable effects such as soft focus or traces of motion, he prefers to unwind reality through objective means—bare grounds, frontal framing, depth of field. A sky, a relation of colors, are enough to gift an image with a supernatural touch without detriment to its documentary value. His work known as "things on display", comes out of a subjective stroll from the north of Frane to Morocco, with a stop in the suburbs of his youth. These images show urban landscapes of troubling beauty, reassuring and illusory both. It is literature that brought Cédric Delsaux to photography. He says he "dreams of putting into imagages that which Bobin or Le Clezio put in their words". In 2005, he was attibuted a prize by Photographie.com for his series "Things on display, the suburbs".
