Issoulane
conveys the reader to a travel into the dramatic landscapes of the tassilis,
these sandstone plateaux of southern Algeria, residues of a sedimentary
layer thrown up by lava in the Pleistocene era. The winds have sometimes
turned them a web of polished hills and outcrops like castles and cathedrals.
Issoulane reveals a unique environment with which Alain Sèbe had
become intimate after months of ceaseless walks. One sees how shadows
dart on the narrow natural corridors, perceives the movements of light
and dark on wind-sculpted sandstone, or discovers a tree that has fought
to survive in the shelter of a cliff. A few black and white photographs
of Tuareg nomads give a human dimension to this immersion in one of the
most beautiful areas of the Sahara. |
Available in French (Alain Sèbe
Images, Vidauban) and in German (Schillinger verlag, Freiburg im Breisgau). |
