"The Old Guard" is part of my "No One Leaves" series, based on various portraits of an aristocratic house set in an uncertain time. I like to mix different eras in my images and it's particularly visible here. This guard is a remnant of a vanished world in the midst of an already outdated modernity. Is this a purely symbolic function or does he still pose a threat? Above all, he is the guardian of an order, of a civilization whose influence continues to spread long after his death. The past is never completely gone, it only transmutes into the present, giving rise to new forms.
