A castelet is a puppet theatre set; originally, the term means “small castle (châtelet)”. It represents a small world, a miniature.
With glass, this photographic block evokes a window—an opening onto the world, a landscape that carries us elsewhere.
The landscape is fixed, yet the depth and reflection of light, along with the glass’s reflections, create the illusion of reality. The landscape is in constant flux: it is the return of the living.
