"Never Young Again" is not some pop message printed on a T-shirt. However, it is not far from it either. Under this explicit title, the Swiss-French artist, Germinal Roaux, has taken a series of photographs on teenagers, which he publishes monthly as a diary in his website. Through the looks he captures, he communicates a certain melancholy of growing up. Furthermore, fascinated by the shift of adolescence to adulthood and by the vanishing innoncence, Germinal Roaux represents the grace and the clumsiness of those who will soon leave their childhood behind. Day by day, he tells us what he sees through his lens, aware of his duty of awakening to the world by the prism of adolescence.
