Laurent Mayeux

Laurent Mayeux examines how regions have changed over time. 

He seeks to highlight the connections between collective memory and the history of a place. His curiosity—a legacy of a solitary childhood spent in a rural setting—drives him to immerse himself in worlds that are foreign to him. He takes a contemplative look at how individuals form a community within a given territory. Laurent Mayeux favors a photographic distance that allows him to establish a connection with both his subject and its environment. He strikes a balance between an overly intrusive approach and excessive distance in order to capture images that reflect both the essence of his subject and the atmosphere of its surroundings.
