Je me réveillais doucement de ce rêve étrange ; amorphe, j’accommodais difficilement le diaphragme de mes iris. Dehors, le soleil brûlait le pavé ; mes yeux jouaient les aveugles. Je me suis longtemps demandé si le cheval avait fait partie de mon rêve. En révélant le film, je l’ai retrouvé, identique à celui de mon rêve. L’Albanie avait été à l’image de ce cheval : un rêve insolite digne des longues nuits d’insomnie.

I was slowly walking up from this weird dream; lifeless, I was having troubles getting my eyes’s diaphragm to accomodate. Outside, the sun was burning the road; my eyes were playing the blind men. For a while, I wondered if the horse was part of my dream or not. While revealing the film, I found it here, similar to the one from my dream. Albania had been at the picture of the horse: an unusual dream that one does during the long insomnia nights.

From inside cultures, people and countries, Léon wants to reflect the world as it is. With and without lines, Léon tries not to lie about what he sees and lets know what people express, and what landscapes tell.
