US Bricks & Words

US Bricks & Words

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

Snow in colors

Neige en couleurs, ou plus précisément, neige et couleurs, lesquelles éclatent d’autant plus quand le «blanc manteau», comme dit la chanson, tente de les recouvrir. Promenade non pas sur le Kilimandjaro, mais en ville de Neuchâtel.
At the heart of the music

At the heart of the music

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.
Electricity Fairy

Electricity Fairy

«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.
Red marble

Red marble

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...
Perches

Perches

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.

Dans une ville, le temps qui passe peut se raconter de mille façons. A travers une sculpture affolante, comme L’heure...
Once upon a time in the West

Once upon a time in the West

PHOTOREPORTAGE, Bernard Léchot | J’ai eu envie de partir sur les traces de ce chef-d’œuvre absolu signé Sergio Leone. La ferme de «Sweetwater» m’attendait dans le désert de Tabernas, en Andalousie. Un peu plus à l’ouest, en cherchant bien, j’ai abouti à la petite gare abandonnée de La Calahorra-Ferreira, où descendait Claudia Cardinale... Et beaucoup plus à l’ouest, de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique, à deux pas de Monument Valley, face aux ruines de l’arche, la musique d’Ennio Morricone a vrillé le silence du désert. Emotion
