Grahovo - In the village (Nikšić), Montenegro

Il était midi, les rues et les terrasses avaient été désertées et laissées telles quelles. Ses occupants viendraient bientôt en réoccuper l’espace et arranger les ambiances publiques de la fin de journée. Le monde du Sud se laissait vivre et nous prenait dans ses bras chauds, il nous réconfortait de ses présences aléatoires et salutaires.

It was midday, the streets and the terraces had been left this way. Soon, its inhabitants would occupy its space again, and would arrange the end of the day’s ambiences. The southern world was letting itself be and was taking us in its warm arms, it was comforting us with its random and salutary presences.

From inside cultures, people and countries, Léon wants to reflect the world as it is. With and without lines, Léon tries not to lie about what he sees and lets know what people express, and what landscapes tell.
