D’Opale et d’Or

Cathy Bernot continued her work on the movement in photography on the beaches of her childhood, in Pas-de-Calais. His photos are invented at the shooting. Coming from an intentional movement in a single click without overprinting, they testify just as much as a more conventional image of a moment, of a landscape, of a lived emotion. With perhaps a hint of magic that unleashes the imagination in addition? To the rhythm of the waves, inspire the iodized air then block his breath to sketch a unique gesture, the camera at arm’s length: this is how these abstract images were born which preserve only the essential places: the musicality, the subtle hues of the Opal coast, the lines of earth, rock and water, the variations of light.
