"Ride" is a portrait of my younger brother of 16 years, Maxence, through his practice of freestyle scootering.
In the skatepark of Antibes, at the French Riviera, from one winter to the next -and during the unexpected ordeal of an interminable summer -, I observed the adolescent faces and bodies of Maxence and his friends, the enigma of their metamorphosis, and tried to capture what "riding" expresses of their intimate desires.
