Par les forêts, les villes et les villages, le long des voies et des chemins, Thierry Girard et Héloïse Conesa

On the occasion of two major exhibitions by Thierry Girard in spring 2021, one at the Fondation Fernet-Branca and the other at the Musée de Belfort, this book brings together several photographic series from different periods, but whose common denominator is the itinerary. Indeed, according to Thierry Girard, the photographic construction of a territory is often built around a route that can represent a line from one point to another, whether imagined or real, like the subway lines in Japan with "Yamanote" and "Tenjin", which the photographer follows from station to station. This line can also be historical, as when Thierry Girard takes up, geographically speaking, the conquering advance of General Leclerc's 2nd armored division, allowing him to cross the landscape of Eastern France as far as Strasbourg, the point of arrival and liberation of the city. In his latest work, the photographer follows several possible routes to reach the Lion of Belfort, crossing rural and urban landscapes and meeting people.
