In this exceptional space in the historic heart of Toulouse, Antoine Vignault and Emmanuelle Vidal present
LOST LANDS
“
As we set out to meet the Maasai people of a remote region of Tanzania, dominated by the volcano Ol Doinyo Lengaï, “The Mountain of God”, we enter a vast and melancholic landscape. Nature as far as the eye can see, animals reigning over these plains, a people full of traditions and authenticity: we are gripped by the nostalgia of the wild space and the delicate union between man and nature. From these lands of heat and ashes springs a poetic framework conducive to the interplay between the real and the unreal, which Éloi Ficat places at the heart of his photographic work. It is with the sincere gaze of the observer that he was able to grasp the immensity and power of places and lives, while playing on the magic and depth of an atmosphere. In the photographs of “Lost Lands”, the horizon fades and lets us feel the dry and warm texture of the earth and air. Timeless poetic settings on which the real, the present, the human stand out. Thanks to a few windows open on these almost hidden places, without having tried to photograph an action, we are caught up in the force of the moments.
