Depuis ces épaules, 2021
Livre, 96 pages, 17 x 22,8 cm, texte et illustrations, éditions Cinabre
Un trail en haute montagne. À mi-chemin de la compétition, l’un des participants quitte brusquement le parcours balisé pour rejoindre ce qu’il aperçoit parmi les roches, sur la pente ravinée. Dans la brume et les accidents du terrain, ce cheminement le mène vers un autre versant de la course.
Chronique d’une traversée, Depuis ces épaules réactive certains motifs séculaires puisés dans l’iconographie rhénane, lorsqu’une prise de conscience de l’environnement émerge, entre témoignages du réel et fiction.
Driven by an intimate connection to the landscape, this novella gives a central role to the mountain which becomes a protagonist and invades the narrative as well as the entire visual field.
By following our visual research this work keeps on questionning the relation between the body and the landscape by the reactivation of a mythological motif throughout the narrative. The depiction of a solitary drift in a rough mineral landscape reveals a man's behavior who confronts the living character of the mountain through a vision.
