In this booklet, accompanying both parts of the exhibition entitled Le paysage et les choses, Chantal Boulanger explores the junction between two distinct yet complementary fields - the literary and the iconic, the latter deploying all the force of evidence - and the ensuing collision between absence and presence from which emerges the sublime. The author writes that, for Richard Baillargeon, photography, at once psychic terrain and diaphanous reality, becomes a frontier zone for the affirmation of our sense, too often hidden, of the world.
