Sixty years after the failed Dieppe raid, photographer Bertrand Carrière brings 913 portraits of men to this beach in Upper Normandy to create an ephemeral photographic installation, doomed to be destroyed by the wind and rising tide. Jubilee brings together hundreds of faces of silent men, lending their image to that of those who disappeared there in August 1942. This book allows us to grasp the magnitude of the symbolic gesture for memory and peace that the artist offers us.
