On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Impressionist movement, Jonathan Bertin worked for two years between Paris and Normandy, his place of origin and the cradle of the discipline, photographing the places of his daily life, banal scenes, worldly scenes, limestone cliffs and lively waves of the Alabaster Coast.

This movement, which appeared in France in the last quarter of the 19th century, emphasizes visual sensation and the instantaneous expression of light effects. Born partly because of the emergence of photography, which then made it possible to perfectly depict reality, Jonathan Bertin thus takes the opposite path: using photography not to freeze a moment but to restore its movement.

Everyday life becomes a playground, Jonathan embraces the subtlety of the ordinary, the colors, the passage of time. His approach paints a sensitive portrait of Normandy, a relationship to spaces and things that imposes itself like a melody.
