The title of this series (Paradigmes), which is part of the bigger body of work that constitutes Atlas, is a testimony of the different worlds he explored and reinvented. His images are an attempt at a new type of representation, in which the artist tries to free himself from a set of photographic rules and preconceived ideas (compositions, layout etc.). In this sense, his photographs are truly paradigmatic.

“In my most recent works, I try to forge a secret and illicit language based on aesthetic deconstruction. My intention is to pervert and destroy the preconceived ideas that inhibit the norms of photographic language.” Antoine d'Agata
