No? Absolutely impossible! Again and now with long and particularly relevant words and for our great pleasure th (alias Arnaud Thurel) exposes his vision and the profound reasons that led him to accomplish this protographic work on browfields. This interview reveals the deep thoughts behind the project and shed an interesting light on Arnaud's approach to photography.

What were the odds of *that* happening?). Yes! We also have Russian fans, albeit in Panama. Don't ask... text/html 2013-02-08T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/news.php At the opening of "Lost Places 2," Arnaud Thurel's exhibition at Espace Paul Jarogt in Crolles, France, a musical slideshow was projected. It showed an incredible amount of Arnaud's work and was created in collaboration with the musician Jean Thoumin.<br /> It is now possible to watch the video on line at Vimeo <a href="https://vimeo.com/58844879">(clic here)</a>. Enjoy.<br /> <br /> Moreover, French people can enjoy an interview of Arnaud on Radio Gresivaudan, <a href="http://www.radio-gresivaudan.org/IMG/mp3_sjt_lvl_2013-02-09_expo_photo.mp3">download it here.</a> text/html 2013-02-06T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net//expo.php?expo=92&photographer=7 Oops, he did it again... He had warned us there would be a second stage: Arnaud Thurel just released his "Lost Places, Act II" new exhibition. It still shows striking images of industrial wasteland, still shot with a pinhole camera in B&W. But this time, there are not only traces of life, but he shows life itself there, life that brings new purpose to the place. Beyond the technical constraints (like loooooong exposure times), Arnaud provides us with a good grasp of the feeling one has when entering the place. An alien-looking figure in a post apocalyptic environment, this is what it looks like to me. And this is what makes this series very intriguing. text/html 2013-01-28T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/bop-photo-analogies.php We have the pleasure to announce that our new publication, "BOP Photo Analogies" is now out of the press!

After the great success on the wall of the Alliance Française in Vancouver in Octobre, the exhibition is online in our virtual gallery. Through 21 handmade fiber paper prints, Arnaud brings us in the harsh and remote working conditions of professional tree-planters in coastal British Columbia (Canada). Mainly shot from the ground, close from the planters, we discover a unique atmosphere, a kind of "forestry battlefield". text/html 2012-11-19T21:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/news.php The prestigious HESO magazine has just interviewed our Hern42 (also known as Arnaud De Grave in other places). Indeed, Arnaud has just spent several months with the planters in British Columbia and photographed their dailylife, their experience and their difficulties. An exhibition followed at the Alliance Française of Vancouver where the public could discover the beautiful black&white argentic work. The questions and the answers of this interview explain in detail the initiative of this project and develop the talented point of view of the photographer. You have to read it in a warm place. <br> Link : <a href='http://hesomagazine.com/photographic/interview-with-arnaud-de-grave/'>http://hesomagazine.com/photographic/interview-with-arnaud-de-grave/</a> <br><br> Le prestigieux HESO magazine vient d'interviewer notre Hern42 (aussi connu sous d'autres latitudes sous son vrai nom Arnaud De Grave).

It will be opening at the Alliance Française in Vancouver, BC. John Innes, Dean of UBC Forestry will be speaking at the opening reception. There, you will find around 20 black & white photos, all of them hand prepared by Hern himself, showing the work of some tree-planters, working in extreme conditions on the Canadian west coast. Hern followed them in their daily work during weeks and what he brings to us is a masterpiece of photowork: weird angles, strange postures, impossible equilibrium, etc. The instants taken here from the inside are nevertheless fraught of movement, and this journey is turning our mind inside out. Is all this work really done just for trees?! Of course it is and we are quite fortunate it is...<br /> The flyer can be seen on flickr <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hern42/7977103853/">here</a>. text/html 2012-09-01T20:22:22+01:00 http://www.bop-photolab.net Association BOP http://www.bop-photolab.net/news.php BOP is happy to announce its new collective exhibition, scheduled for september 2012 during the events of "les journées du patrimoine."<br /> The exhibition will be showing from the 7th to the 23rd of September 2012 (saturdays and sundays, 2pm to 6pm) at Fort Barraux (38530 Barraux, France).
