Passing his sky
A series about rural life, the profane, and the sacred. About how these concepts have shaped the landscape and our perception.
Permanence and change in the landscape
This series juxtaposes physical elements (landscape/habitat), temporal elements (old/new), and symbolic elements (sacred/profane, i.e., celestial/terrestrial). It captures a suspended moment of shifting rurality between the cycles of nature and the rhythms of humanity, memory and fading memory. One echoes the other.
The landscape that we could observe yesterday has obviously evolved with humans and their needs, their ideas and beliefs, and their very presence within the landscape: the fact of living and working there means that it is undoubtedly shaped by humans themselves, physically, but also through their perception, through their gaze.
There is also time, which is intrinsically linked to space and place. The landscape—or territory—where we lived, which we sometimes endured according to agricultural rhythms and work, is seen through the linear and calibrated measure of our contemporary societies. We no longer inhabit the landscape in the same way as we did yesterday.
