« For this 18th edition of the La Gacilly Photo Festival, we want more than ever to offer a world to re-enchant.Full North is not only an opportunity to indicate a new course for our disoriented lives, but also to highlight the creative and often unrecognized power of these artists from Northern Europe who, since the dawn of photography, maintain an almost carnal link with the harshness of their land, a nourishing land that they honor, and that they reveal to us through their works. Integrating a wild environment and solitude in their relationship to the world, the peoples of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden are not content to exploit the fruits of nature in a blind way, but to '' above all to understand how it works by observing it with kindness. Their knowledge, their curiosity for fauna and flora explains why they are more keen to respect them. [] By the diversity of their photographic approach, exploring for some the harshness of their environment, for others the complexity of our With modern developments, these photographers from the North all have in common a look mixed with poetry, sometimes tinged with surrealism, to awaken our consciences to better understand the world of tomorrow. They are in their own way the artistic sentinels of a positive civilization. »
