Tracing Lines emerged while reviewing contact sheets from a photographic campaign. Beyond the selected images, another sequence appeared, structured by recurring visual traces, lines shaped by light, landscape and material.
Developed across several locations, from Lake Neuchâtel to southern European coastlines, the work extends a vision long associated with Michel Parmigiani, for whom nature remains a fundamental source of proportion and harmony. Rather than isolating the object, the images allow natural forms to participate in its presence. Reflections, textures and shifting horizons introduce a continuity between watchmaking and landscape.
Presented as a parallel photographic series, the project reveals a quieter layer of the work. The images form a dialogue between object and environment, where lines briefly align, allowing structure, light and perception to converge within the same frame.
