Ombres (13+1) is a visual poem that tells the story across time and space of a journey in search of light. It gathers images taken by Gilles Massot during his many journey around the world, starting with photographs from his university days in the late 1970s in Marseille and going all the way to the recent project developed in Facebook in 2021 under the title “Things I will Miss”. The flow of images though is not chronological but rather emotional contemplating the moments of sadness and joy of a journey in which many friends were made, and a few of them already lost. From shadow to light, the book ends with an opening onto the new phase of a life long artistic process that is currently shaping with the return of Gilles to his town of origin, Gardanne.
