A contemplative photographic series created during a residency at the Moulin des Ribes in Grasse, a former mill nestled in the Provençal landscape. Known for his background in biology and his analogue black-and-white photography, Jochen Lempert brings scientific sensitivity and poetic restraint to the site's immediate environment. Shot entirely on location, the images focus on subtle interactions between natural forms and their surroundings and on everyday life in and around the mill, with the intimacy of field notes and the tactility of silver gelatin prints. In the silence of these photographs Lempert proposes a different kind of knowledge rooted in slowness, attunement and care. The photographs were taken in the summer of 2021 during a residency at La Società delle Api.
