As part of the 2010 Normandie Impressionniste festival and the exhibition "Dans un jardin", French photographer Bernard Plossu received a specific commission on the garden at Giverny. Plossu photographed the house and gardens of Claude Monet, and this book presents an unpublished ensemble of sixty photographs taken on two visits, in winter 2010 and spring 2011, at different hours and in different seasons. All the pictures reveal the painter's house in a radically new and singular way. One finds the tremor of images taken while walking, the feeling of emptiness, the poetry of silences, the use of grain and photographic grey, strong atmospheric moods and mirror effects, all constants of Plossu's way of working. The photographer plays with absence: the toile de Jouy covering the furniture in the dressing room or the studio-salon in winter, the fleeting silhouettes of tourists on rue Claude Monet in spring.
