With “Trova“, Gilles Roudière offers a geographic journey through Cuba in the way of the Spanish-American trovadores going from town to town to sing their songs. He goes with the flow of the traveling and creates powerful black and white images, with a free grainy feel. Without ever stopping at the surface of things, free from the commonplace and from the seduction of exoticism, his photographs play between fiction and reality and create a narrative that seems to be coming straight out of a movie. Images that are often at the boundaries of surrealism, carried by a fascinated and fascinating gaze.
