Description

Rural by Raymond Depardon presents a poignant and nuanced portrayal of life in the French countryside. Through his black-and-white photographs, taken with a 6x9 view camera between the 1990s and 2000s, Depardon captures the intricate relationships between people and land.

The photographer's approach is one of trust and observation, allowing him to enter the private lives of farmers and reveal the beauty and fragility of small farms. The resulting images juxtapose the serenity of sunlit scenes with the stark contrasts of winter, where snow-covered hillsides offer a glimpse into the daily struggles of rural life.

This monograph showcases Depardon's unique perspective on the world around him, inviting readers to contemplate the intricate balance between nature and human endeavour.
