Wild Morvan Tour. A doppelgänger is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or double, of a living person; in fiction and mythology it is often a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and a harbinger of bad luck, and other traditions equate it with an evil twin. In the line of the collaborative projects set up by Le Mulet, such as the Belgian 1010 trilogy or the magazine Tropical Stoemp, Doppelgänger confronts the visions of two photographers. They met at the exact midpoint between their two homes, the Morvan regional park in France, and spent five days walking the region to make “four-eyed” diptychs. All the images were then printed in the darkroom by the authors themselves with lith developer. The result is a singular, archaic vision of this rough and virginal territory in central France.
