taken from the jet of the montera: The montera is used by the matador to offer the death of a bull (brindis). He then throws the black hat to the person of his choice. Even without brindis, the diestros have the habit of toring bareheaded for the faena de muleta. They then get rid of the mounta in two possible ways: either they place it carefully on the ground, face down, or they throw it over their shoulder. A superstition has it that if the montera falls upside down, it's a bad sign for the matador: the bullfight will be difficult or a failure. When the matador offers his bull to the public, he will place his mount in the center of the arena. Taking off his mount and turning to the chair, the matador asks permission to end the tercio of spades. He thus wishes not to weaken the bull. Sometimes, however, his request is refused, the presidency considering that the animal has not been "punished" enough. The diester must then cap the mount again and bring his bull to the picador who performs, at the maestro's request, a mock spade. A Mexican custom arrived in Europe, more particularly in Spain, for forty years: during the paseo, the matadors who present themselves to the public for the first time discover each other. As a sign of mourning, when one of them dies, all the participants of the paseo march bareheaded.

Bernard Vergier is a professional photographer whose goal is to try to make us feel the image through our senses. He uses photography as a means of expression, in order to share with us his vision of the world.

The image fascinates! We are surrounded by images, flashes, signs, behaviors, visual expressions…. daily. We think we see but often we do not know how to look, analyze, understand what surrounds us and it is harmful for the daily well-being of all. Photography is for him a good way of sharing and understanding for the greatest number. The shot is the reflection of the present moment for eternity... But it can also give a sense of reflection to our life, a line of guiding ideas on the world around us, a projection towards the he future… It will not necessarily be perceived in the same way by each of us.

Bernard Vergier resides in La Ciotat in the south of France. He is a graduate of the National School of Photography in Arles. His work is present in many private collectors (USA, Mexico, Canada...).
