A collection of texts written by patients of a hospital center, following photographs taken by the artist Richard Louvet.
Richard Louvert, Marine Bachelot Nguyen and patients from Guillaume Régnier Hospital: 86 texts for 86 images; many real and imaginary journeys and encounters in the form of an improbable diary. The authors let their imagination flow, without knowing anything about photographer Richard Louvet's images. A joyful and emancipated wandering in time and space, where it is good to get lost.
De loin en loin is the result of an entire year of work between a few Guillaume Régnier Hospital's patients, Saint-Jacques-de-la-lande therapeutic day-care centre, photographic artist Richard Louvet and author and director Marine Dachelor Nguyen.
During writing workshops led by Marine Bachelot Nguyen, the authors worked on the travel diary, writing on the basis of Richard Louvet's image bank. Without knowing anything about the contexts of the shots, they have appropriated these photographic moments in writing, and give us an unusual reading of them.
