Daniel Maigné had won us over with the force and accuracy of his images of the world of rugby. Still faithful to the notion of terroir, he offers a photographic work around the theme of rurality. Far from the bucolic imagery of city dwellers, Maigné suggests a graver gaze, closer to reality. In these photographs there is the suffering of the furrow with an open heart, the scar of time, the pain of the soul. Daniel Maigné has the mischievous and knowing talent of the photographer who arouses at once humour and gravity, smiles and nostalgia.
