Going, on the French side, from Calais to Brest and passing through Varengeville, Pointe du Hoc, Cape Levi in ​​Cotentin and a number of towns in Finistère and Côtes-d'Armor, Aurore Bagarry photographed a landscape "at point blank range", to use an expression that can be justified by the notion of photographic shooting, but which clearly expresses the sensation of brutal presence felt when looking at these images. In England, on the other side of the Channel, in the same way, the artist symmetrically traveled the coast towards the west, starting from Eastbourne to Cape Lizard in Cornwall, and, having reached the end of the peninsula, returned to Maer Cliff near Bude, to the north-west of Dartmoor National Park, facing Wales. What we see here is of an indeterminate nature and is as much a topographical survey as it is a landscape photography. Very little sky, if at all, in these images which are almost impossible to locate if we have not located on a map the place where they were taken. Whether you are in France or on the other side of the Channel, there is nothing to really understand it. The coast seems a gigantic palette on which the sea has tried its colors: the mauves blend with the yellows and greens of chlorophyll and mud mixed together, the leprous ochres bud from dwarf bushes, the grays cut with bluish depressions seem to tilt under the force of the winds, the dark sandstones veined with pink stand out against the gray sky, the cliffs raise the crenellated profile of their white walls stripped by the salt, their turrets topped with short grass, sometimes stained with dark lichen, or streaked with vertical bands drawn by runoff water.
