PORTFOLIO - Bertrand Carrière, Caux
Cet article a été publié uniquement en anglais à l'origine. Aucune traduction n'est disponible.
In three recent interrelated works, Bertrand Carrière explores ways of expressing the memories embedded in the landscape at the site of the Dieppe Raid of 1942. The Caux series constitutes a long meditation on the sense of purposelessness and loss embodied by that very landscape.
It was preceded by Jubilee, an installation in two parts referred to as “an ephemeral monument” and “a cemetery of images”, in which nine hundred and thirteen photographs were propped up in the stones of the beach to be borne away by the sea and installed on sticks to represent a war cemetery, just beside the chapel. 913, the film, retraces the making of these works while recalling the story of this event.
