The Hôtel Fontfreyde Photography Center in Clermont-Ferrand, France, is currently hosting a compelling photography exhibition by renowned photographer Patrick Tourneboeuf, which will run through September 27th. The exhibition showcases Tourneboeuf's latest work exploring the architectural heritage and forgotten spaces of Clermont-Ferrand.
Accompanying the exhibition is a comprehensive book titled "Entretemps," published by Les Éditions de Juillet. This publication serves as a detailed documentation of Tourneboeuf's artistic residency, during which he conducted an extensive photographic survey of heritage sites throughout the city of Clermont-Ferrand. The project represents a significant collaboration between the photographer and the local cultural institutions.
In this remarkable body of work, Tourneboeuf turns his lens toward industrial wastelands and abandoned sites that dot the urban landscape. Through his patient and rigorous approach, he methodically traces the contours of what he describes as "suspended architectural memory." His photographs reveal these forgotten spaces with careful attention to detail, bringing to light the hidden stories embedded in the city's deteriorating structures.
The book "Entretemps" features an impressive collection of 72 photographs presented in a 22 x 27 cm format across 128 pages. Published as a paperback edition, the book carries the ISBN 9782365101332 and is available for purchase at a retail price of 35 euros including tax. The Hôtel Fontfreyde Photography Center is located at 34 Rue des Gras, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France, and visitors can find more information about the center at their official website. The book can be purchased directly from Les Éditions de Juillet through their online platform.
