Serge Lutens - The Past Participle

It hasn't been long since, rather than displaying an image on a digital screen, a photograph would be passed around to be seen. Photographic development transforms a latent image into a visible one. Just as a photo gradually appears from film subjected to chemical baths, so a memory returns to the mind. A past that invites itself into the present.

"Past moments flowing into the present have many scents. I interpreted what evokes the past most for me. My whole life enclosed in a small bottle, a secret reluctant to reveal itself, a memory of my consciousness."
