The desert
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

This series is about the nothingness, about spaces devoid of any human presence or trace, filled with absolute absence. Nobody will ever live on these slopes or plains. Nobody will ever move these stones, cut down these trees and use them to build roads or buildings.
We are permanently absent from these landscapes. Sometimes it’s good to look at those void spaces, to remember man is not everything, to forget humans, to meet a space that doesn’t know us at all, a space that calmly laugh at human egotism.
This work goes together with a book I’m currently writing (in french) about the desert on Earth and on other planets, whose title is Nothing.
