We're always excited to grab any work published by Philippe Jarrigeon, a Paris-based photographer whose approach to medium combines the visual languages of fashion, design, advertising and popular culture, often in a bold and starkly colourful way. Inspired by the mythologies and artistic movements that have shaped the Forest of Fontainebleau, his new photography book ROCHER FATAL renders the memories of the landscape as a comic and philosophical tale.
The book brings together a series of staged scenes, composing a visual journey in which reality, history, and different eras intertwine. Along the way: a fatal boulder, an abandoned château, a tightrope-walking hiker, a lost knight, a hobby painter, the memory of Cocteau… and a touch of magic. A walk through the woods where everything seems perfectly ordinary, yet, from an excess of oxygen, the mind begins to wander.
