Kenyeri - In the village (Vas), Hungary

A l’heure où le soleil faisait fondre l’asphalte dans un chaos d’éléments, bercé par le fracas du silence qui envahissait les rues de chacun des villages que nous traversions, le métal s’était trouvé un abri de fortune à l’ombre du béton qui pavait le sol que nous foulions. La chaleur du silence avait abattu tous les signes de vie que nous connaissions jusqu'alors.

At the time when the sun was melting the asphalt in a chaos of elements, rocked by the crash of silence invading the streets of each of the villages that we were passing by, the metal had found a makeshift shelter at the shadow of the concrete, the one that was paving the ground on which we were walking. The heat of the silence had shot down all the signs of life that we had known until now.

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.
