In Sur Face Martin d'Orgeval captures lyrical details of everyday surfaces small visual
miracles that we might otherwise miss. Whether it is paint splattered on a road a dirt-covered
windshield a hushed heap of snow or delicate folded paper forms defined in strong light
d'Orgeval's focus is on patiently accumulating in Erri De Luca's words a collection of
visions that reveals the extraordinary in the mundane. But where does he see such things?
continues De Lucca In what sort of place do these photographs exist? I've roamed this world
for longer than him and I've never found the like-nothing to remind me of what these surfaces
display. They are statements of matter revealing itself to him saying: I am this. Yet it is
said only to him to the apple of his eye.
