"The Story-Teller"

A Sami Sarkis's photographic exhibition

PRESENTATION
__________________



Double originality for my third exhibit on the InterNet:

I'm presenting 30 photos, all in Black & White,  this under two ways!

a 2 min. slideshow with the story-teller voice,      or the photos shown classically!

Preamble

I was actually in the process of making a documentary film with Alain Gaussel, a 70 year old 
story-teller,
 when I took these pictures. For two years I followed him with my camera in the
Parisian playgrounds and suburbs.
 This man had been going from place to place for 20 years, telling stories for free to the kids 
of the popular
 districts.  Each time I had the chance to be with him and the children I saw faces
enlightened by a momentary 
dream.

It was as if the kids where held under a spell by this magician of words!

Today, I'm giving your eyes the
 best stills. And, since I had the opportunity to record Alain's 
voice on video tape, I've used the soundtrack
 for the slideshow clip!


This way, you can watch the photos and hear his voice (as a quicktime movie), or see the text
of his favorite 
story, 'The Three Cats', written little by little under each image.

And since my film about his story-teller 
world is available now, you can have a look 
on it, but only in french!
