*finis terrae*
Jérôme Bourquin photographs landscapes as a way of coming to terms with solitude, approaching photography as one would a film: through narrative, documentary aesthetics, and a dreamlike quality shaped by light and color.
His images, both raw and meticulously controlled, depict settings devoid of human presence, yet laden with traces, tensions, and silent dramas.
Five landscapes at the edges of the world thus become introspective visions, suspended between wandering, contemplation, and vertigo.
Based on a text by Clotilde Wuthrich.
