Didier Brousse who for the last two years has represented the photographer Bernard Plossu writes about him and says. This exhibition is not a retrospective of forty years works, but a selection in his work that is so very extensive. Bernard Plossu spend most of his life traveling the world with a camera in his hand or rather a fifty mm lens glued to his eye. Now his field of investigation center on Europe where he goes from one assignment to another.

However the exhibition offers a short cut that could also be a synthesis showing side by side, with some never seen pictures, the mexican trip of 1965, and the last commissioned work in Ardeche «France», an invitation from «la Fabrique du pont d'Aleyrac» which became a book «le Pays des petites routes». The exhibition is an invitation for Bernard Plossu to look and be sensitive to different territories , landscapes and towns.

Since he first started working Bernard Plossu has imposed his style giving priority to fleeting moments with realistic construction that give the atmosphere or the essence of a place.

To make the work coherent Didier Brousse and the photographer have included in the exhibition some color prints from his recent work published in 2007 « Plossu Couleur Fresson ». Fresson is the printer with whom he has been working since the 70's.
