在看到这组作品的名字“Silent World”的时候，猛然间让人想起某些熟悉的画面，让人想起《毕业生》主题曲——The Sound Of Silence寂静之声。沉默、安静、空旷、是否还有一丝不知所措。当一座城市失掉了霓虹灯光，失掉了川流不息的车流，失掉了所有的声响，仅剩下一两点人影在画面中穿行。每个人的理解都有不同，这也是摄影的魅力之一，带有各种各样的解读。lucie & simon 通过镜头表达的，或许需要我们亲身走近，去解读，去了解。

"Silent World" was awarded by the Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet Foundation prize,and received a Grant from the CICRP center Marseille, European Year of Culture 2013.

The silence of the world, like a quotation, is suddenly endowed with an oppressive eloquence. Small intrusions are the true sparks here, because their disconcerting presence disrupts the majestic calm of the streets and squares. Are the latter guilty or victims? The fate that governs these shots in a tangible way is not the result of decisions taken by metaphysical powers, but stems uniquely from the imagination of the two creators of these photos, Lucie & Simon.

Although they consciously and intelligently stage the principle of the “déjà-vu”, they nevertheless brilliantly include observers in their game and transform them into co-creators of their images. They undermine the idea that the photographic image is a duplicate of the visible world or a “language without code” (Roland Barhtes), an image that is at least « natural » at the moment of its creation. They endow their photographs with an abundance of unsettling codes, of the most diverse persuasions and origins, particularly those arising from other images. However, these codes don’t focus the images. They serve instead to incite observers to fill them with language of their own experience and their own imagination.
