From his first journeys to India and Egypt to the observation of the French southwest landscape as part of the DATAR mission, the book explores Pierre de Fenoÿl’s work through about 150 photographs. Haunted by the question of time and memory in photography, he tirelessly photographed landscapes and revealed their historical and sacred memory. Three texts shed light on the multi-faceted figure he was.
