Skywalkers captures the moment just before dawn on the atoll of Mataiva, in French Polynesia.

Under the supernatural glow of daybreak, sliced by the harsh glare of the dock’s floodlights, the fishermen’s gestures take on other meanings: reality begins to flicker.
They become heroes of the dawn, strange samurai silhouetted against the sky’s gradients, Jedi warriors surrounded by interstellar shadow. Under the bloody clouds, everything becomes cinema, everything becomes painting.

Then the violet-pink sky fades, the sun rises, and the heroic figures return to the familiar faces of the island.

Through light, Skywalkers speaks of the tension between the ordinary and the imaginary. It casts a gaze on the quiet, unsuspected magic of a ritual that unfolds each morning at the edge of the world, on the peaceful atoll of Mataiva.
