GLISSEMENT DE TERRAIN
Beatrix Von Conta / Julien Zerbone
For 25 years, Beatrix von Conta has been questioning, in different forms and approaches, the contemporary landscape, noting, without nostalgia, the subtle or striking signs of an ongoing transformation. Her detached but sensitive approach invites the viewer to reflect on the infinite fragility of a territory and its landscapes. Her gaze, attentive to the smallest detail, seeks to transpose the notion of stratification, of a mille-feuille landscape, in which each layer, associated and compacted with the others, determines what emanates from the image.
Her photographic work is permeated and nourished by the question of the memory of the landscape and its more or less violent transformation.
This book presents nearly 20 years of photography, research conducted by Beatrix von Conta on the urban and natural landscape. It is an essential work in this field. A long preface by Julien Zerbone introduces the book, and the photographer's texts accompany and present each of the series.
