If it's not always easy to decipher what Maxime Duveau's images show at first glance, it's because they involve all sorts of interweaving of referential motifs, extracted from a photographic base that he has built up over time. His art is not a narrative, but an imbroglio of images in which memories of a road movie in California, views of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine and shots from his exhibitions collide. The very matter of his images is as much the result of the idea of texture - a term that the artist himself likes to use - as that of mental Braille, insofar as he uses a process of mixed reminiscences to create his own language.
