Still Hour

30 years travelling thru Mediterranean landscapes and its metaphysics Mediterranean metaphysics is the subtitle of this project by the French artist Bernard Plossu. It gathers 150 images taken over the course of 30 years in the south of France, Spain, Greece, Italy and Turkey. In these snapshots, the omnipresent white light eclipses people in a visual exercise that reflects on the real dimension of the landscapes and architectures. The images shape a timeless space in an almost dream-like journey through time and light. AUTHOR: Bernard Plossu (born in Dalat, South Vietnam, 1945) has travelled extensively through a life in photography, including in the jungles of Chiapas in Mexico, the American West, India, the Aeolian Islands, and Niger.
