Our wanderer is a photographer of great talent who doesn’t need to resort to any tour de force or mannerism. His gift comes from the innocence of his heart, and the faultless intelligence of his perception. With him, we travel most naturally, as we did when we were young. He reawakens in us the excitement and pleasure of seeing, of discovering, of mixing with other human beings. In his works, the unalterable fixity of the photographic image reflects the melancholic passage of time, a tenderness, which is not sentimental, but is inherent in the subject he is drawn to. Less evident perhaps at first sight, there is also the atmosphere, the setting, the park and the bench, the piazza, the curve of a fountain, the light that is an integral part of the shadows that it casts … in other words, the very context is humanized to remind us that even in moments of great solitude, we are not alone, but are part of a world that we tame by our very existence.

Thus the continuity of life is revealed through the luminous traces of the black and white photographs that have the power to convey Traboulsi’s intense but discreet love for life through the privileged perceptions that he passes on to us. »
