Seine River 49º N 1,88º E

Over the centuries, the Seine in and around Vernon witnessed political and religious intrigue, wars, resistance. The spirits of the Impressionists stretch eastward from Le Vieux Moulin in Vernon towards Giverny
and westward through the forest moving in the direction of the ocean.
The energy of Vernon’s long history emanates from her fluvial currents, strangely evoking a sensation of earth,
of fluid roots extending deep into the ground.

Seine River 49º N 1,50º E

The history of the river around l’île verte, 40km east of Vernon, is less dense,
the animal life more wild, the waters more pristine.

SkyWaters

Seine River 49º N 1,88º E

SkyWater photographs portray fluvial moods that echo enclaves of our inner world.
From the same vantage point, at different hours, weathers, seasons, I captured a split second
of the movements of the river and a few moments later the slower movements of the sky above it.
I then brought the water into direct contact with the sky reflected on it
to open up the horizon’s lavish possibilities.
