"Divagation Vendéenne” shows Fabien’s wanderings in the Breton Vendée marshlands.

For this series as a printing method Fabien used an old handmade Japanese retouching technique that dates back to the years 1920 - 1930 called "Zokin-Gake".

As Fabien says – "Together with the images and the "Zokin-Gake" it brings back certain melancholy that touched me when I first arrived in those marshlands. As luck would have it, I went back to where I spent a good part of my childhood holidays."

Last year I had the chance to discover photos of Shiraishi Chieko in an exhibition in Paris. They had a big impact on me and I looked how she did it. The method is called Zokin-gake. After finding the methodology I applied it to the prints I made in September.
