L'arbre dans tous ses états

The tree in all its forms—or almost all, since it is not depicted in a transformed state. The tree is part of the photographer’s environment. In his early years, in the 1970s, he observed it suffering during the floods of the Aube River, then in the form of a charred trunk washed upon the shore of Lake Forêt d’Orient, framing a bridge steeped in history that spans the Gave d’Oloron. More recently, the tree is represented by vegetation that withstands the cold climate of northwestern Iceland or grows to enormous proportions in the heart of the Guyanese forest. We find it bathed in the light of a stormy sky over the Larzac or on the ramparts of Warsaw. This tree symbolizes life after the passage of fire between Aveyron and Lozère. Let’s view this exhibition as a breath of fresh air.

Exhibition at City Hall, open on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month and by appointment, except on Sundays.
