Dans cette nouvelle mise en scène photographique produite le 12/06/2023 après-midi dans l'atelier-jardin de Gaspard de Gouges, on peut voir au centre de l'image un pont de style roman, rompu à son extrémité gauche. La scène est tout à fait originale, voire étrange. En général les ponts romans enjambent des rivières, bien souvent au fond d'un vallon, d'une vallée. Ici ce pont sorti tout droit du moyen âge est isolé au milieu d'une mer extraordinairement calme, une mer turquoise. A l'arrière plan de superbes nuages bouchent littéralement le ciel. La série est une allégorie de la crise migratoire actuelle qui secoue l'espace méditerranéen. Quand un pont est détruit il ne remplit plus sa fonction première, comme la mer méditerranée qui ne remplit plus sa fonction de lien entre les deux rives.

In this new photographic staging produced on 06/12/2023 afternoon in the studio-garden of Gaspard de Gouges, we can see in the center of the image a Romanesque style bridge, broken at its left end. The scene is quite original, even strange. In general, Romanesque bridges span rivers, very often at the bottom of a small valley, a valley. Here, this bridge straight out of the Middle Ages is isolated in the middle of an extraordinarily calm sea, a turquoise sea. In the background, superb clouds literally block the sky. The series is an allegory of the current migration crisis that is shaking the Mediterranean area. When a bridge is destroyed it no longer fulfills its primary function, like the Mediterranean Sea which no longer fulfills its function as a link between the two shores

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. "
