Le soleil passe à l'embranchement is a series of which the artist delves into the story of her great-aunt Hélène, a former activist in the MLF, the women's liberation movement in France. Hélène has lived on her ancestral farm for 40 years, cultivating the land and maintaining the surrounding forest. At the age of 77, she still cuts down the trees herself when they die. The water resources are drying up and she will probably be the last person to work the land. Between documentary and fiction, the artist tells the story of Hélène's life, combining photographs, recordings, fragments of text from Hélène's diaries, and archives found in her attic.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
