Japan, 1992-1995
Result of several trips in the Japanese archipelago, this work reflects the photographer’s liking for the lightness and tranquility specific to the land of the rising sun.
By showing a country both deeply contemporaneous and open to the world as the marks of a centuries-old culture that is present in the landscapes as much as in the residents’ attitudes, Bernard Descamps expresses his admirations for a Japan where poetry and hunger for modernity are inextricably linked.
