"I instinctively reacted to Jean-Christophe’s color work, which is intense, and extremely attractive. It seems to me that this is where his (great) talent lies: his eyes see in poetic colors. In a way, this essay reminds me of Wim Wender’s Once – with an added layer of politics, and death. I like the way he composed his essay, with nocaptions next to the images, and more explanation in the end. It leaves room forthoughts, imposing a respectful time and space to each image and subject; and then, in the end, the thoughtful captions offer different layers of meaning and understanding:the politics, the social drama; and also, sometimes, sheer beauty offering itself to subjectivity and metaphor".
