Dunes & Trees...Concepts & Techniques
|
Concept, Thema
|
This
idea is born from an assiduous frequentation of the Cotentin littoral in the
Department of La Manche (Normandy) in France in the years 80/90. One can
find there an immense field of dunes of several acres, near the village of
Vauville, which conceals not only dunes and vegetation, but also trees and a
pond with exceptional fauna and flora.
The
work resulting from these active visits (stays, excursions, photographic
work, etc.) is not in any way an exact " portrait " of the dunes,
but the plastic and sensual consequences of an impregnation by the
nature-dune and an attempt to thus create a kind of imaginary "
topography " of the phenomenon " dune " in its weather
mobility. A " spirit " of the dunes rather than a more or less
fictionalized description... |
