Walked territories - Errance

Most of these photographs were reached on foot.
Some were made in Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Ireland or Scotland, others more recently in the Alps. The landscapes differ a lot, but I work the same way in each: walking for hours, often carrying all my equipment, with no idea where the photograph will turn up.
Walking slows down the act of looking. Distance gets measured by the body rather than a map. Light shifts, weather changes, paths disappear and come back. The landscape reveals itself gradually, not as a string of viewpoints but as an experience built up over time.
I rarely think of these walks as journeys toward a destination. Returning to the same places matters as much as finding new ones. Familiar landscapes keep changing, and so does the way I look at them. Each visit folds into a longer observation.
The panoramic format follows that experience. It unfolds the landscape horizontally, close to the rhythm of walking, letting space be discovered rather than surveyed.
Errance is not about getting lost. It is about giving a place enough time to become familiar before making a photograph.
