Avec cet intense désir de vitesse que la modernité avait parachevé, l’homme avait quadrillé l’espace de figures géométriques bitumées dont la logique ne correspondait pas avec celle de la nature. Ainsi, à travers la taïga canadienne, l’asphalte dessinait à l’horizon un chemin aux multiples inconnues.

With this intense desire of speed that modernity had completed, mankind had locked down space with asphalted geometrical figures whose logic was not corresponding to the nature’s one. Thus, through the Canadian taiga, asphalt was drawing a road of multiple unknow factors.

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.
