Observing the world and its changes when you are a photographer raises the question of shape. The reporter shows the event, the artist questions the information. He is on the side of the thought image. The “For Reasons” series by Gilles Coulon is a juxtaposition of photographs and testimonies. Images and words echo each other. By linking landscapes to a chosen time, photography transforms them into witnesses. A mute spectator, the landscape witnesses the gesticulations of human societies, their seasons. The deadly cold of the French winter, the budding hope of a Tunisian spring, the threatening anticipation of a Malian summer or the rigor of a Spanish autumn. So many reasons to report.
