The title is borrowed from logistics. Angle mort is the blind spot: the zone around a vehicle that mirrors and sensors cannot reach, where another body can be present and remain invisible. The term belongs to the language of risk management, to the administration of movement at scale. The work photographs this condition rather than illustrating it. A series of barrier boulders, the crude stones placed at the perimeters of petrol stations and logistics hubs to control the flow of vehicles and bodies, are photographed against the anonymous architecture of the petro-modern infrastructure they inhabit. Trucks, forecourts, the generic non-places of organized transit. The boulders hover in the compositions, abstracted from their function, stripped of context just enough to become something else: obstacles, weights, geological matter displaced into a logistical regime. Printed on foam at 50x100 cm, the physical support of the work carries its own logic. Foam is a shock-absorbing material, used in packaging, in barriers, in the infrastructure of protection. The image of the blind spot is printed on the material of cushioning. What cannot be seen is held by what absorbs impact.

The series examines the subliminal organization of the petro-modern landscape: the fragility beneath the smooth surface of coordinated movement, the invisible risks embedded in the circulation of goods, masses, and materialized desires. The barrier boulder is not a sculpture. It is a counter-logistical object... placed precisely where the system admits it cannot see.

The photographically installed series Angles Mortes, printed on foam, examines subliminal aspects of petro-modern logistical landscape. Abstracted compositions of trucks set within an anonymized environment of petrol stations, with barrier boulders hovering in empty space evoke the theme of the blind spot, invisible risk, and the fragility of organized movement of masses, goods, and materialized desires.
