Part of a series of photographic books by the author
The watermill in Grasse and its life are the protagonists of this book, made of photographs taken by Julien Carreyn in March 2020. Invited by Silvia Fiorucci Roman and La Società delle Api, he settled in the mill and spent his days observing and photographing its elements, from paintings and meadows to inhabitants and guests, using instant cameras such as the Polaroid SX-70. When the first lockdown abruptly interrupted a stay meant to last a month, he returned to Paris and spent his days on the banks of the Loire with family and friends, still obsessed with certain mental images such as the small paintings of Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato. He reworked them in gouache on small pieces of cardboard and mixed them with the photographs, like turned cards in a game of interrupted original memory, evoking the idyllic atmosphere of the French landscape.
