L’homme moderne définissait son monde d’une manière géométrique, il appelait des lignes qui en appelaient d’autres, esquissant le paysage ainsi linéaire de nos habitudes. Le retour en terres industriellement cultivées nous paraissait être à l’image d’un retour dans le temps. L’agriculture moderne devenait notre Moyen-Âge, obscurantiste parmi les obscurantismes.

The modern man was defining his world in a geometrical way, he was calling lines that were calling others, thus drawing the linear landscape of our habits. The return in arable lands industrially cultivated seemed to us to be at the image of a come back in time. The modern agriculture was becoming our Middle-Age, obscurantist amongst the obscurantisms.

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.
