Description

Rachel Cobb's Mistral captures the essence of Provence through its legendary wind. Through beautifully evocative stills, the photographer conveys the restless swirl of this famous phenomenon.

The region's unique relationship with the mistral is revealed in the photographs, which show how the relentless wind affects everyday life. From houses built to withstand its impact to trees and crops sheltered from its force, Cobb's images illustrate the intricate balance between nature and human habitation.

Complementing the photographs are excerpts from writings by notable authors, including Paul Auster, Lawrence Durrell, Jean Giono, and Frédéric Mistral. This collection offers a nuanced exploration of the mistral's power and its place in Provençal culture.
