" Antoine D'Agata documents what he lives at the moment he lives it, that is, all over the world. He puts on paper ordinary or extreme experiences. The shots are due to the randomness of encounters, situations. The choices, as far as possible, are unconscious. But the obsessions remain the same: the road, fear, darkness, sexual act. The brutality of form, the exaggeration of vision force us, more than the images that claim to document, to be interested in the reality of what we see. The viewer can then exist, no longer in the position of voyeur or consumer, but share an extreme experience, question the state of the world and of himself. " Ice is conceived as an intimate diary from 1999 to today, between clichés, drug use and sexual acts.
