“What interests me in Comandon’s work is the ingenuity of his filming device and of the imaginary within it. His way of dipping into microscopic research like a quest for interiority, is what links my practice to his. With the help of his camera, Comandon perforates the surface and goes beyond it to make visible everything there is to see.” — D. Douard
