Lady Land

Bernard Descamps

This book is a poetic stroll where you can stroll through the wooded countryside, naked bodies in a room, beds calm rivers or snow that we evoke body. This work of great sensitivity and great sensuality is in communion landscapes and nudes.
Lady Land is an imaginary country, a country that runs a photographer, a melancholy and solitary walker.
One country, one body, we no longer know very well, female, male … or both.
A country made of earth, herbs, water and perfume, trees prepared, rhythm flowing soils and fog that rises in the winter morning …
Everything is calm, quiet, no trouble breathing does this strange appointment, the waiting … the desire of both horizontal and vertical …
Lady Land is a tale of winter.
