A Book of TRUST
In Comes to Print, a 2022-2023 Chunk of Amazing Photography, out of several long terms project with No Ending!
Brice’s first archival book represents much more than a simple compilation of images. This period, from February 2022 to July 2023, was marked by the consolidation of strong photographic series, which became the basis of long-term work. Though An “Archive” I interpret it as a Book Of Trust. Trust of Folks in Rough Neighbourhoods, Gang Members, Mafia….. et al & Trust in Himself to undertake such a life revolving yet volatile project.

This book embodies, on the one hand, an attempt to present this thematic work in a tangible and chronological manner, but also to observe its evolution over the volumes. It is an authentic dive into his universe, at the heart of street culture, far from tourist clichés, approaching its dark, intangible side, often invisible, sometimes hidden, or masked by the indifference of society. On the other hand, this book was born from the desire to pay tribute to all the people who crossed my path, with whom I shared rare, sometimes intimate moments, and who nourished my thoughts on crucial themes, Violence, Poverty, Religion & Friendships…..

Shot entirely in Black & White & in USA, France, Italy & France, The Archives is beyond simple visual capture, Brice’s objective has been and is to lead the viewer to transcend clichés and familiar street scenes to foster a deeper understanding of different cultures and lifestyles, particularly on the issue of disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
“My photographs aspire to raise awareness, educate and encourage intercultural dialogue by highlighting differences, while breaking down stereotypes that can surround these communities.”
