Quote from Alain Paiement:
'The blur is an optical aberration. it is this which exceeds the limits of my perception in the immediate experience of what's around me, as an effect of the unresolved mental reconstruction of a whole by adding frames which we would never be able to gather all in one place at the same time.'

I chose to do some research about this artist because the photograph above was in my second starting point and I liked the look of it. I liked it because it looked interesting and it gave me inspiration for one of my initial ideas.
