PANTA REI : everything flows... "Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same river". According to Greek philosopher Heraclites, there is no permanent reality except the reality of change. Permanence is just an illusion of the senses.This same thought inspired Jean Nestares' upcoming exhibitions to be held in New York City in 2010 and in Seoul, London and Paris in 2011. Jean's previous work was based on cities, lights, movement and people, producing a mix of hectic yet poetic beauty.Today, by capturing ephemeral moments through video and photography, Jean transforms images through the prism of the water flow. Figures float freely without being trapped in a sensation of perpetual metamorphosis.
