Le temps qui court

What remains in time?
The ever-changing lights, the sea and the movement of the tides with its floods of water and deserts of sand, the rocks sometimes black, sometimes sparkling create a collection of living, elusive spaces, whose cartography is constantly being reinvented.Of her encounter with the city of Saint-Malo during her artist residency with the poet Albane Gellé, both invited by Territoire rêvé, Maia Flore has captured the impermanence of the place.
The photographer imagines a choreography where her body stands in full frame or gets lost in the immensity, as if to suspend time and catch for us a little of this evanescent magic in a land that is already no longer the same. In her depiction of Saint-Malo, Maia Flore does not recreate the space, she fills it with a gentle nostalgia and retains its almost surreal lunar landscapes from which emerges a universe as intimate as it is universal.”
