Terres

The poetic power of Eric Bourret's images, their way of "modulating the visible" and to show, according to Merleau-Pont's expression, "the interlacing of the invisible and the visible" prompted the Lodève museum to invite Eric Bourret to to explore, echoing its collections, the landscapes from which the fossils that compose them. There is in the work of this artist, an "astonishing temporal conjunction between a nature several million years old and a human who lives only a shortened moment" and this thanks to a device photographic whose function is to precisely stop time." The book Terres, offers a route made up of a selection of images from of the residency carried out by the artist in Lodévonis and Larzac in 2018 and 2019, and older images (Cradle of Humankind, South Africa). A photographic ephemeris which, by disintegrating the structure of the initial image, creates another moving, sensitive reality.
