Emmanuel BITTON, at the ecological lake

Through this desire to fix unique moments that Mother Nature offers all the time, and despite of what our modern world inflicts to it, I wish to show everyone this beauty around us and at the same time try to remind all to take care of this beautiful nature. More information

Emmanuel Gavillet, at the playground

Emmanuel Gavillet has been a master in the use of black and white to sublimate a landscape and get its soul out of it. At the playground which majestically overlooks the ecological lake, have a sharing moment with this photographer full of enthusiasm and passion.

Patrice Labarbe at the ecological lake in Combloux

From a Parisian borough, Patrice is in Chamonix, since 1983.
Then passion and destiny matched together: mountain guide and author-photograph; two additional activities to the mountain service.
Since about 20 years, I enjoy be a part of this France who wake up early but who also take a chance to have a rest by a spruce’s shadow or stroll at the edge of a torrent, or in the hollow of a mountain pass.
All around me, I can see nature’s spaces getting smaller, I see the time going through.
So to keep the hope, I go to beauty islands in the height, or in some valley’s hollow I walk awakened to the trees, plants, rocks, clouds reactions. I keep an eye on the nature’s movements, smells, colours and sounds around me.
Patrice is the author of eleven works.

“Panoramic Alp: lights and subjects”
In theses pictures, there is no more urbanity so humanity neither! Humans are at the bottom, at the hollow of the mountains’ fold, and at theses morning or crepuscular moments when the negative are taken, valleys are already or nearly in the semi-darkness. Higher, mountains are transforming in a bewitching palette of colours which includes all the Earth and the Sky.
Among this infinity of different bright scenarios I grope, I smell, I’m embedded, I imagine, I dream.

Robin Marck at the “Pente Museum” in Combloux

Robin Marck expresses himself on black and white roll film or on digital video supports.
Instinctive and self-taught, he began by going around the old French bistrot to put them into the roll film of his Reflex. Then come the Réunion Island, where he was born in 1977, the Haute-Savoie’s peasants, with whom he grew-up, and his work about the vagrancy which took him to the documentary film. His first movie will be “La Butte Montmartre” with its sociological turn-over. The continuous play of the life and his characters brings him to film and picture old bistrot on the French roads, the peasants and last shepherd of the Alps, the fish-man from the Cotentin, the Lozère’s village life. Tomorrow is other movie… every thought is a picture.

“Words,

things…

worlds”

Installatation and collection of words: Pascale VIOLLAND
Through the cross of two artist’s glances, opens a new approach of the peasant life in mountain. Both animated by a similar vagrancy way, Pascale Violland and Robin Marck go through the territory by their own maneres, to find moments, talks, pictures. At random of exchanges, meetings are doing similar or different. Unusual and humanist glances on our territory.
