Tien afbeeldingen van La Bresse en de omgeving before 1898

A. Thiriat compiled these photographs of La Bresse and its surroundings into a book, notable for its structured layout. Each photo, a study in grayscale, captures the essence of the region's landscape. Thiriat avoids a simple grid; instead, the photographs are arranged at various angles, creating a dynamic, almost cubist-like effect. The images are organized as a collage-like composition. The varying shapes and sizes of the photographs add a layer of visual complexity, playing with our perception and inviting us to piece together a holistic view of La Bresse. This arrangement challenges the traditional, linear narrative, prompting a more interactive viewing experience. Thiriat is disrupting conventional ways of seeing and representing space, encouraging viewers to engage with the landscape in a fragmented yet cohesive manner. The collage as a whole forms a new symbolic system, representing a place that cannot be understood through one lens.
