About this photograph :
Blood of earth
Tuz gölü, the large salt lake in Turkey, is a grandiose and fascinating place which imposes "its" silence upon us. Whatever the light or the season, all the elements seem to meet and blend there, considerably reinforcing this sentiment of natural immensity. You can feel both struck by great humility but also by unlimited freedom there.
About the artist :
Alain
Etchepare
Alain Etchepare was born in December 1965 in Biarritz. Today he lives between France and Turkey. Through his photographs, he likes to misappropriate reality to suggest a whole other story. Man is most often present there only through his expression, and by the traces that he leaves there, superb or hideous, useful or destructive.His encounter with photography took place in 1984 during a long visit to Polynesia when a friend allowed him to participate in a black and white printing session. He came out bowled over and with only one idea in his head: make his life into a source of pictures. A self-taught route led him towards a career as an illustration photographeruntil 2001. By ideological conviction, a change of orientation incited him to invest in the creation of a communication agency. Very taken by the durability of this new activity, he took almost no pictures until 2006. The need for creation took the better of him. Today his photography practice is mainly orientated towards the presentation of personal works. Through his scenes, he wants you to discover a dreamlike or poetic universe, sometimes a little melancholic or dramatic, but always intimist and with lots of room for the imagination.
