Brick: a building material made of clay, in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, says the dictionary. Which forgets the function of blotting paper, as the walls become impregnated with lettering from another time, telling the story of the city before. Examples from across the Atlantic and antichronologically from Denver, Colorado, to Flagstaff, Arizona.
Snow in colors—or, more precisely, snow and colors—which stand out all the more when the «white blanket,» as the song goes, tries to cover them up. A stroll, not on Kilimanjaro, but through the city of Neuchâtel.
Symphonic music is a vast, tempestuous stream. What if we went back to its source, to the center of its gush, right next to the musicians and choristers? Immerse yourself in the heart of the Ensemble symphonique neuchâtelois (ESN) and the Cantabile Choir.
«A long time ago, we used to say »fairy electricity" to evoke a new and almost miraculous form of energy. Today, despite the threat of blackouts, we've become accustomed to its tidiness, sheathing and padlocking. But sometimes, at the bend in the road, we discover works of art of a sort, somewhere between carefree ramshackle and unexpectedly aesthetic. Stopovers in Tucson, Arizona, Guadeloupe and the Pyrénées-Orientales.
My first series of images for Le Regard Libre was devoted to the white marble quarries of Carrara. A year later, I set course for Caunes-Minervois, in the Aude department, to discover a more discreet deposit, which has nevertheless supplied incarnate marble to such famous landmarks as the Grand Trianon in Versailles, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in Paris and the Great Mosque in Cordoba...
From Icarus to Leonardo da Vinci to wingsuit enthusiasts, humans have always dreamed of flying like a bird. And birds, for their part, seem to love taking a break from human constructions. The Italian example, with sculptural ambiences in the heart of Rome, and a Hitchcockian atmosphere at a freeway service area.
PHOTOREPORTAGE, Bernard Léchot | Même si l’on sait que là-bas, de l’autre côté, il y a un autre continent, la mer donne toujours un sentiment d’infini. Que les objets un peu incongrus qui la bordent ne parviennent pas à faire taire. Photos prises à Cabo de Gata, en Andalousie, non loin d’une autre mer, assez hideuse celle-ci, la «Mer de plastique» des serres de la province d’Almeria.
In a city, the passage of time can be portrayed in a thousand different ways. Through a startling sculpture, such as *L’heure*...
PHOTO ESSAY, Bernard Léchot | I wanted to follow in the footsteps of this absolute masterpiece by Sergio Leone. The «Sweetwater» ranch was waiting for me in the Tabernas Desert, in Andalusia. A little further west, after searching carefully, I ended up at the small abandoned train station in La Calahorra-Ferreira, where Claudia Cardinale used to get off… And much further west, on the other side of the Atlantic, just a stone’s throw from Monument Valley, facing the ruins of the arch, Ennio Morricone’s music pierced the silence of the desert. What a moving moment.
