OMALO presents a series of photograms made by Grégoire Eloy during a residency in Georgia. The photographer questions time, memory and life in this recluse of the Caucasus, while continuing to offer us his vision and his questions about the image itself.

Alternating photograms and their setting in situation, Gregoire Eloy shakes up our perception of what is the image : each shot resulting in a photogram (action of the light of the flash on the photosensitive paper arranged in the space) and a view of the setting (image captured by the camera).
