Sur ce cliché en noir et blanc assurément ancien on voit en amorce, au premier plan un pan de falaise sombre, flou, indistincte. Plus loin, séparé par un bras de mer, une île s'échappe en pente douce.

Sur ce cliché en noir et blanc assurément ancien on voit en amorce, au premier plan un pan de falaise sombre, flou, indistincte. Plus loin, séparé par un bras de mer, une île s'échappe en pente douce. Au loin, au sommet d'une falaise on distingue un édifice qui pourrait être un château, une résidence, c'est difficile à déterminer tant ce plan est flou. L'ensemble constitue un témoignage de l'ancien Farghestan, à moins que ceci soit un rêve.
Cette photographie mise en scène évoque l'univers livresque de Julien Gracq et en particulier celui de son livre le rivage des Syrtes. Gaspard de Gouges nous plonge dans un voyage dont vous êtes le héros, et vous emmènera à la recherche d'un monde géographique perdu aux consonances familières.

On this certainly old black and white shot, we see in the background a pile of rocks and masonry, a fort in ruins, an outpost, a castle? The sky is threatening, the water is calm, the horizon is blocked by the rock in the foreground and this reef with strange shapes in the background. This staged photograph evokes the bookish universe of Julien Gracq and in particular that of his book the shore of Syrtes. Gaspard de Gouges immerses us in a quest that will take the viewer in search of a lost geographical world populated by ports and islands with familiar sounds.

Gaspard de Gouges lives and works in the Gard, between Montpellier and Marseille (France). He is a graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris. In the early 2000s, he began to paint large format figurative canvases, group portraits. Since 2021 he has devoted himself to photography, which has become a game for him, a kind of motionless journey.

"I started photographing scenes when I was 10 years old, with very realistic toys and models that I built with stalks of dry grass, miniature vehicles. For a long time I wanted to photograph islands, to their dreamlike power, I love to travel there and their memory persists. Their existence plunges us into an elsewhere. I imagined them tropical, but it is on mineral and Mediterranean islands that I finally decided to evoke. My approach is to create stagings, artificial but plausible, realistic landscapes. I create imaginary worlds, sometimes containing ruins, at least rocks that sometimes make me think of fortresses. These landscapes surprise me and always give me a lot of pleasure to create. "
