Music Spirit

By Justine Darmon

The absolute generosity of musicians towards their audience

About Music Spirit

Music Spirit

Justine Darmon is deeply inspired by the absolute generosity musicians show towards their audience: those suspended moments when emotion and joy transcend all notion of time. On stage, each artist fully immerses themselves, crafting sounds that reach deep into listeners, guiding them into profound introspection.

Through her photographs, Justine Darmon reveals this internal journey, finely capturing the essence of each musician and their power to ignite in others an irrepressible desire to live, excel, and share. Focusing on Jazz and World Music, she expresses her sensitivity towards the cultural diversity and openness to the world embodied by these musical genres.

Her images subtly convey the unique dynamics among artists, the raw, almost primal energy, and visceral emotions unleashed by the music, thus offering a sublime vision of this sensory experience.
