yako aka J-C Yacono

French born Canadian photographer and multimedia director, my work is expressed and printed mainly in Montreal. My practice relies mainly on movement, whether on the fly or choreographed, during shows, experiences, rehearsals or transportation, on its forms in photo and video and the three different blurs it leaves on a sensor. My images are about a passing experience in which the subject or the place is not so much an object of observation but rather a collection of moments producing snapshots, series or photoclips videos. I magnify imperfections, keep errors, use glitchs and simplifies to the extreme my process. The use of a "all effects while shooting" technic allows me to capture images that evoke traces of remembrance more than they deal with the present, in a "grainy, dirty and fuzzy" reality. My tools are some Point and Shoot compact cameras and various vintage cameras with "out-of-date" argentic films.
