A la recherche des forêts brûlées (2019)

Pierre Thoretton's project is to photograph the remains of the wildfires that devastate California every year and nothing goes as planned. The burnt forests cannot be found and the technical problems associated with a large format camera pile up. Along the road and landscapes, the photographer humorously adjusts his project to the contingencies of the present moment. Between an artist portrait and a road movie, the film questions our relationship to image, the process of artistic creation, and the choice to continue to do film photography in a digital world.
