This photographic assignment has its origins in a fictional documentary approach. In fact, this work takes a poetic look at the problems of regional development and the snow economy in mountain areas: disappearance, mutation, architectural, human, landscape and economic adaptation.
It highlights a region that is undergoing a major change: global warming.
Ski resorts are in danger of disappearing from their original activities. It's an artistic, aesthetic and, above all, poetic look at a material - snow - that has shaped a territory in terms of landscape and people. These works take the form of testimonies to create a different relationship with reality.
Each trace, each sign, seemingly insignificant, can reveal itself, through the works produced, as the starting point of a fiction in the making.
This exhibition is a vision, a kind of collective object, a singular place where images meet, rub up against each other, confront each other. These images may be photographic, documentary, experimental or conceptual.

LA NEIGE
La neige c’est le temps qui glisse sur des lames de granit comme un flocon au vol incertain qui pose son cœur sur le flanc d’un ubac. Le nuage disperse son âme de poudre au milieu des pentes blanchies seul reste le silence qui habite les sommets.
