David TEMANU brings a sensitive and poetic approach to photography. He senses in the image a capacity to suggest rather than demonstrate, to summon impressions, involuntary memories and intuitions.

Tahiti, the island where he grew up, holds within the depths of oblivion distant stories and ancient beliefs. It is here that he first draws his inspiration.

Between softness and tension, the evident and the enigmatic, his photography explores what, within the image, still eludes us.
