Inner geography

The displayed images can be appreciated independently; at first glance, they may seem unrelated, yet their connections become apparent to varying degrees. It is essential to establish a process to create links, exploring the artist's work not through linear time but rather as a rhizome. The atlas forms a visual network that supports and guides exploration, serving as a path to understanding the oeuvre. The viewer is thus invited to weave relationships between the images, which may rest on formal analogies, conceptual proximities, historical articulations, and temporal and material confrontations. The images constitute a unique corpus that reveals the photographer's universe, his inner geography.

Primarily focused on the creation and destruction of the contemporary landscape, Julien Guinand's world is populated by various paradigms (climatic anxieties and ecological struggles, sensitive narratives, territorial investigations, catastrophe, and collapse) that coexist and enrich one another. Through their superposition, they reflect a singular universe where the melancholy of the world contemplates its future.
