«Gironde romane», the exhibition
Travel to discover the medieval past of the Gironde, highlighted by 3 contemporary photographers.
From the tip of the estuary to the beginning of the Landes, the Middle Ages left on the territory of Gironde many traces of a Romanesque heritage of fine craftsmanship.
These stone-witnesses especially present in the interior contain masterpieces of which the abbey of La Sauve-Majeure, «lighthouse» of the Entre-deux-Mers, is emblematic by its rich sculpture.
With the support of the department, Nicolas Camoisson, Lou Chaussalet and Bruce Milpied, three contemporary photographers gathered in the collective Cdanslaboîte, left on the way to locate the remains of this millenary heritage.
From this commission-reportage, they have been able to make work of creation, and bring back to us their points of view that regenerate a past always full of beauty and vitality. Come discover their works reproduced in large format in the park of the abbey.
Open daily from 8 July to 6 November 2022 (except Mondays from October).
