PEASANT WOMEN - Photographs by Alexis Vettoretti.
"Paysannes" is a series of view camera portraits that reveal these peasant women born between the wars, witnesses to a bygone era in which they still live.
Working the land. Raising children. Taking care of the home. Their faces, their hands, their bodies, bear the traces of a century that saw our society transition from tradition to modernity. The last heirs of a way of life they did not choose, they are the bridge between two eras. This award-winning photographic series by Alexis Vettoretti was published in 2024 by Ulmer Editions, accompanied by an original text by Marie-Hélène Lafon.
