Arnaud Bizalion Éditeur : Michel Eisenlohr & Bernard Collet : Forts des confins. Roya-Bevera, Ubaye, Briançonnais
Michel Eisenlohr shed light on the fortified heritage of the 19th and 20th centuries located on border territories between France and Italy, camouflaged in the landscape or, on the contrary, impressive and majestic like the silhouettes of lookouts. Over the seasons, from 2015 to 2020, Michel Eisenlohr sought out the other history of these places, that where the “great” History rubs shoulders with that of the infinitesimal. Where drama, intimacy and mystery come together.
