As part of its partnership with the Festival, the Sténopé association presents the work of Thelma Le Roux, a young photographer from Clermont-Ferrand and a student at the Clermont Métropole School of Art.
Echoing this year’s holiday-themed edition, the analog photographic series J’arrive bientôt, je suis en route (Coming Soon, On My Way) will be on view at Galerie Sténopé starting 30 January.
This project explores the idea of travel, ways of moving forward, and the place of the body, and aligns with the shared commitment of both organizations to promote emerging artists and provide their work with spaces for visibility.
“Intrigued by natural landscapes and urban compositions, I wander through the vastness of the outdoors, camera in hand. Walking triggers inner poems within me; I often struggle to remember these words, yet they are the verses that inspire me to begin capturing images. Photography, to me, is the revelation of poems that are never written. These views are taken along the way; they are fleeting, like my presence in these spaces. I follow my path—sometimes it has already been traveled, sometimes I build it myself. Whatever the trail, I move forward in my body, and I’ll be there soon, I’m on my way.”
