Another nature
Catherine Dovellos
Originally from Arles, Catherine Dovellos was immersed in the image to the rhythm of the Rencontres de la Photographie and its opening evenings at the Théâtre Antique. She grew up in the heart of the kingdom of mosquitoes, the Camargue, its vast, flat, windy expanses of pastel colors. If there is one thing that she received in her genes, it is the Mediterranean, the Greek Mediterranean of Kalymnos, the island of her father, the Mediterranean of Italy and Malta through her mother, the Mediterranean of Tunisia where they have lived for a long time. The history of these peoples of the sea, these sponge fishermen, these peoples who have migrated often, these arid, uncompromising and magnificent landscapes. This light, the icons of Byzantine art, the feeling of being part of a lineage, of a story that she needs to translate into an image.
