What memories of Brittany do we keep? Wet feet in rubber boots, itchy sand in bathing suits, skinned feet on rocks. These sensations have been transformed into tiny papers kept precariously in our family albums. Forty years in a closet or passing from hand to hand, these photographs give us an account of the modifications of the Brettany landscape over a half-century of tourism. This exhibition at Galerie Le Carré d’Art in Brittany’s Chartres, close to Rennes, gathers photographs from many anonymous family albums. Beyond the beauty of the archive, this selection is also a participative and evolving work. Since the opening and for the the entire duration of the exhibition, visitors are asked to bring one or several photographs taken from their family albums. That are then reproduced and hung on the wall of images outside the gallery. Therefore, this exhibition grows as the days pass.
