1534

The photographic essay "1534" is devoted to the various landmarks that the French explorer Jacques Cartier left his mark on. Nearly five centuries later, the photographer returns to the footsteps of the great Saint Malo navigator in France and North America. In this reportage, Christophe Lavaud invites you to go back in time in order to generate new perspectives on our own identities in a rapidly changing world. Beyond the desire to document this period of history in the digital age, it is an invitation to travel through a part of this majestic Canada and to awaken, in a fresh breath of the present, the visions of the past. Fragments of a long-distance reportage.
