Bernard Plossu : Memories Are Made Of This

In front of twelve family pictures, Bernard Plossu tells us about…
His childhood readings, his father, a walker and photographer, his trips to Italy, Africa and so many other countries. Meetings, friendships, family, love, Françoise…
These images and the words that Bernard Plossu places on them, tell us what photographer he is, make us understand why he is so attached to black and white, to simplicity, to the chance that a “failed” photo can become a “ poetic photo”.
A way to meet the man as much as the photographer.

Letters between Armand Châtellier, Antoinette’s father, representative of a noble family from Pont-Labbé, who opposed the marriage, and his daughter or his future son-in-law, who will go and try for the adventure in Cochinchina (present-day Vietnam) .
Letters which speak of the relationships between men and women, between a noble society and a more popular one, between different generations.
Letters which show that all current issues already existed a century ago, and in a way addressed more freely than they would be today.
In the end, the young lovers will marry. The mother’s family did not attend the wedding and had a trunk of hay delivered to the newlyweds as a gift…
