To his pragmatism Mister G. added a rigorous method that, as an obsessive worker, and like any serious artist, he established at the outset. This method is both simple and, indeed, economical: after a spot of rumination on humanist notions or basic universal themes that he might wish to act out, he sets himself the daily task of sketching out emblematically resonant situations and taking the corresponding photographs of himself...

...He then cuts out his figure, and sometimes that of this wife, and places it (them) in a model built using basic materials (glue, string, scissors, ink, paper, photos, etc.) that will fit on a tabletop He now holds a mini-photography session lit by two approximate gardens spotlights in his grandfather’s tiny shed in La Ciotat.
Once he has done all this, the selection process is draconian. Only one image will chosen, and sometimes none, for as Garcin philosophically acknowledges, sometimes an ideas doesn’t work. Still, at the rate of ten to fifteen photographs a year he has, over the last decade, built up quite an impressive corpus of over three hundred pictures.
