François Adragna: What is a photographic series?
Lise Sarfati: It is a set of photographs which are linked to each other and which create a whole. Something which shuts us in and in which we cannot find the exit. It is also a way of thinking. A form.

FA: Finally, why not a movie?
LS: Because of the silence and stillness, because of the power of the fixed image and its circulation as an object.

FA: The uniqueness of your work is based on the gaze. It reminds me of Roland Barthes who said : ”The gaze, if it insists (if it lasts, if it traverses, with the photograph, Time) the gaze is always potentially crazy : it is at once the effect of truth and the effect of madness. ”
LS: Truth and madness. Subjectivity. No, I think I first start with a subjective mental image and I try to make it cross through reality, I project it on the outside world. I expect from the viewer, that they will project their subjectivity into the image as well. Also, I hate explaining my work. It is made to be looked at.
