Photographs by Jean-Christophe Ballot
From Sunday 14 to Sunday 21 July 2024

To mark the 20th anniversary of Galerie Nathalie Béreau, Adeline Guilhen, director of Galerie L’Écume Quantique, is offering a carte blanche to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day. For the duration of the event, the two galleries will be working together to present photographs by Jean-Christophe Ballot.
The story of the D-Day landings is told in 45 stations, linked to texts by Laurence Meiffret and based on one photograph, a diptych, a triptych or polyptychs of 4, 5 or 9 images, making a total of 81 photographs by Jean-Christophe Ballot. The exhibition includes an extract from the book (Éditions Odyssée, bilingual) signed by the artist on the opening day.

The grim reaper mows down the first of us.

The abyss beckons.
