Entre fleuve et rivière
Entre fleuve et rivière
This book is born of encounters, an interest in landscapes and mutual curiosities. Beyond a dialogue between two photographs, Between river and river is an inspiration, a desire to explore a common history.
These are two views crossed on the Basque country and the territories of Quebec and Labrador, on the rivers that run through them. looking for fictitious or real traces, is a very personal reading of the landscapes.
Christophe Goussard, French photographer from New Aquitaine Charles-Frédérick Ouellet, Quebec photographer, have each discovered the territory of the other.
The prose poems of Itxaro Borda invite a third look at these images.

Christophe Goussard
Photographe
Born in 1970 in Blaye, lives in Bordeaux. Author artist, his position is not journalistic. He lends his gaze to all spaces rich in human experience and multiplies the registers. Attracted by the greatest contrasts, he turns to open and remote spaces on residences with long courts as well as closed and very close environments.
From one project to another, the human who was until then the central object of his research, is fading. The figure is now only required as a presence in the landscape and places full of history.
He has published several books at Filigranes, including the last Goodbye to the river with Christophe Dabitch in 2016. It is distributed by the agency VU ‘.
