Joris Couronnet: "Instants bruts"

Moments of intense thrills between daily routine. Letting go, while questioning yourself. A box of memories, all  analogue. Because it is more fun, gritty. A pursuit of happiness ? Must be. Searching for the ultimate pleasure. Understanding that life is beautiful, that nothing matters“. Joris Couronnet, 25, grew up in Lyon. A town that he knows by day as he does by night. Friends, lovers… each encounter is associated with a photo. For the last three years, he has created a visual diary at once natural and alive: Instants bruts “Raw moments.. ed”. In each period of time, what he loves to capture is always real, raw and explicit.
