How much can you carry?

The series of portraits by Floriane de Lassée was born from the artist’s fascination with the lines of walkers carrying loads as varied as they are voluminous along African roads.

Mairie de Megève

This series of 45 portraits printed on wood has gradually spread to the four continents. Through these photographs with front framing, the artist draws up the portrait of these carriers from the four corners of the world, proposing to each one to put himself on stage with what he has dearest. The models took the pose, happy to put themselves on stage, proud to highlight what often resembles their only wealth. In filigree, the artist also talks about the weight of traditions, society and family. The photos were taken using support ropes, which were then digitally erased. These portraits that punctuate the path of Megève’s Calvary resonate with this sacred place, inviting the walker to philosophize on what everyone wears on their back with passion and patience.

About the location

Le calvaire
Montée du Calvaire, 74120 Megève
  • Haute-Savoie
  • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Between the heart of the capital and the plateau of Mont d'Arbois, rises one of the only Sacred Mountains, those mountains of the Passion marked by chapels and scenes of the ascent to Calvary, that count our country. Built between 1840 and 1878, Le Calvaire de Megève is primarily the work of a man, Father Ambroise Martin (1791-1863), parish priest of Megève from 1820 until his death. It consists of fifteen chapels and oratories, staged on the first slopes of the mountain, depicting the stations of the Way of the Cross leading to Jerusalem’s Golgotha. The different buildings, which borrow from all the architectural styles of the past, house about fifty painted wooden statues, generally life-size, completed by frescoes and trompe-l'oeil. Architecture, sculpture and painting combine here to evoke in striking images of realism the life and passion of Christ. This beautiful ensemble was once a place of pilgrimage so important that it earned Megève the nickname of «Savoisian Jerusalem». Toda
