IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Recuperate a well-known object for the first time of his life, baby 
seek and find; this was an idea from another friend of mine 
(Christian Gauthier); he asked me on the phone what was the topic
at this time. He also wanted to know what I was working on. I told 
him that I did try severals stuffs, but nothing turned me on. He told
me to draw just a big pacifier, to see what kind of impact this object
will have on a screen; I started to laugh and this finally put my
imagination to move foward. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


I used three spotlights to give this silky ambiance. Two bright 
yellowish spots, and a darker blue one. Without creating too
much details, I wanted to give the impression of specific view of
a human being at this primary scale of time. The baby face appears
in reflection on the rubber, to signal the proximity of the child.
A mapped image was used to create this reflection.
