Stéfane France has realized, with a 8x10in large format view camera a series of portraits of submariners of the former submarine base of Lorient. This base has been created by the Germans and was the strategic center of the battle of the Atlantic between 1940 and 1945.
This base was then used by the French submarine forces until 1995.
These portraits have been realized in the former bunkers or inside the Flore submarine.
This series “Retour à la base de sous-marins » (Back to the submarine base) is now exhibited in the Museum of the submarine La Flore from the 19th of September to 3rd of January 2021.
The book “Retour à la base de sous-marins” (format 30×30) gathers all these portraits and gives access with QR Codes to the testimonies of submariners, biological sounds and videos. This book of a new genre is an immersion in this fascinating and largely unknown world of submarines.
This book is available (50€ with worldwide free shipping) at the bookshop of the Museum La Flore , from the publisher ROOM 2025, 18 rue du Meunier, 56700 HENNEBONT.
