Flatland - In 2018, Maxime Brygo spent several months exploring the plains of
southern Vietnam, crossed by the Mekong River. Originating from the north of the
France, he discovers during his journey another “flat country”, which, like his own,
was partly reclaimed from the sea. Alternating between color and black and white, it
manages to capture the transitory aspect of the landscapes visited as well as their
ancestral symbolic charge. Flatland opens like a collection of clues,
all the more gripping as the photographs collected give sites a
a priori innocuous a strangeness, sometimes an aura. The places here suggest
uses, practices, rituals, there magical, telluric or
cosmic whose images restore the secret activity.
