Jean-Sébastien Monzani is a Swiss and French fulltime freelance professional photographer, videographer and graphic-designer born, who is specialized in portrait photography. Elegance, simplicity, a strong sense of composition and emotions are key elements in his work. His themes often depict a sense of magic in reality. Most of his work is also influenced by magic realism - with authors such as Haruki Murakami, Jorge Luis Borges or Dino Buzzati - as well as visual poetry in performance arts. Jean-Sébastien's work always leaves some space for imagination, with a strong visual composition and a delicate approach of colors.
Entretemps (literally "between-time") explores the boundaries of the perception of time in a cold universe into which a woman seems to be trapped. Is there a way out when the seconds and minutes themselves become a substance and the rules of nature are violated? How does it feel to be trapped in a place where the continuity of time is broken? CAST Stéphanie Schneider
Seatopia (2009) gently approaches the fragile inner-world of a young lady who seems to be fascinated by boats and the sea. Can dreams still live in the hostile universe of the cold city? CAST Stéphanie Schneider
Paragenese (2010) is a reflection on power and sensuality, exploring the body-language and relationships of three linked characters in an enigmatic universe where verbal communication does not exist. The staged performance and lights add to the oddity and poetry of their mysterious - and harsh - world. CAST Claire Deutsch, Vincent Brayer, Adrien Barazzone CAMERA Jean-Sébastien Monzani & Sébastien Monachon ASSISTANT Jonas Fornerod
Fragments - Les Bruissements du Monde (2010) explores the quest for identity and quietness in the rumble of the world. The surreal story leads to questions about individuality. Does it still exist, when everything is described, discussed and controlled by the media? What kind of relationships are made possible between these broken souls? CAST Stephanie Schneider & Laurent Annoni ASSISTANCE Francesca Palazzi CAMERA Jean-Sebastien Monzani & Sebastien Monachon
