Thierry Fontaine, a photographer, grew up on the island of Reunion. He imagines his pictures by observing around him the movements of the social models according to the places where he is. The movements of these models create meetings and new contacts. The crossings which result from it become intermingled until they produce inter-breedings. These contacts alter the established models, raising questions. He stages them and photographs improbable, opposing meetings from situations that he creates with model characters, prepared scenes, sculptures and specially made objects, organized exactly in a chosen context..

Originaire de l’île de La Réunion, Thierry Fontaine est l’auteur de photographies qu’il imagine en observant autour de lui les mouvements des modèles sociaux selon les lieux où il se trouve. Les déplacements de ces modèles occasionnent des rencontres et des contacts nouveaux. Les croisements qui en résultent s’entremêlent jusqu’à donner des métissages. Ces contacts altèrent les modèles établis, génèrent des interrogations. Rencontres improbables, antagonistes, rendues possibles par l’artiste, à partir de situations qu’il crée avec des personnages modèles, de scènes préparées, des sculptures et des objets spécialement fabriqués, organisés avec précision dans un contexte choisi. Il les met en scène et les photographie .
