Cliché Magazine, February 1988, Paris, France “ Perhaps we should consider Scott MacLeays photos like a series of maxims, brief structures that reveal themselves and then disappear. The images are immediate; they already contain their death, as well as their rebirth. We are here before a collection of bursts of light. In black and white, in color, views of body fragments, nude fragments or more accurately, unclothed fragments loating on the border of bodies and light. On the uncertain frontiers, we walk, we touch, eyes closed and mouths open,......... A third plane is added to those of the light and the bodies, that of internal resonance. Silence sweats from silenced voices, open mouths and even of puffs of light, like music that disappears, a chord that is reborn without beginning or end, le maxim is concerned as much by sound as it is by silence. The images of Scott are like singers: in top form or not.” François Rafinot, French choreographer,
