Raymond Depardon photographs the gorgeous French countryside in all of its contradictions: shimmering and bleak, lively and secluded
During the 1990s and 2000s, French photographer Raymond Depardon (born 1942) crisscrossed rural France with his 6x9 view camera. In the photographer's words: "To photograph and film farmers means entering their private lives and creating relationships of trust over many years."
From this exploration of the agricultural world, he made black-and-white photographs that tell the story of the land, the people, manual labor, the isolation and fragility of small farms, but also the beauty of the French countryside. Sunlit scenes of sheep on secluded hillsides and spacious old small towns are juxtaposed with the same scenes in wintertime where those same towns and hillsides offer up new contrasts such as between untouched snow and the dark earth agitated by farmers and their livestock just feet away."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Raymond Depardon occupe une place singulière dans le champ de l'image contemporaine. Photographe et cinéaste mondialement célèbre, il est l'auteur d'une oeuvre qui mêle depuis plusieurs décennies les projets au long cours, le noir et blanc, la couleur, le film documentaire et la fiction. Sa passion pour la technique, ses interrogations permanentes sur l'éthique et l'esthétique, ou encore ses repères autobiographiques sont autant de marqueurs essentiels dans ce parcours jalonné régulièrement par le goût de l'écriture et l'envie de donner la parole.
Au cours des années 1990 et 2000, Raymond Depardon sillonne la France paysanne avec sa chambre photographique 6 x 9. De cette exploration du monde rural, il réalise des photographies en noir et blanc qui racontent la terre, les hommes, le travail manuel, l'isolement et la fragilité des petites exploitations agricoles mais aussi la beauté des paysages français.
