In the south of France, photography tends to be flamboyant. Just eight days before the inauguration of the Rencontres d’Arle, Fondation Carzou in Manosque has launched a superb exhibition of Denis Brihat’s work.
After Hans Silvester and Peter Knapp, the Nuits Photographiques de Pierrevert in Manosque have extended an invitation to Denis Brihat for their 9th edition. A portraitist of plants and vegetables, Denis Brihat is a photographer-poet. A Provence resident for over fifty years, and a former professor and longtime friend of Alain Gualina (one of the pillars of the festival), Denis Brihat has the power to make even the most jaded eyes open wide in amazement at the sight of onions, eggplants, or a tuft of quackgrass.
