Sanctuaries. Two Photographic Journeys.

Opposed at the outset – almost irreconcilably – here are two visions of what represents a sanctuary. That is what are proposing Éric Dupuis and Sol Lang with their photographic essay entitled “Sanctuaries”. In the figurative sense, the word sanctuary means “protected, closed, secret, sacred place”. This is without a doubt what these two artists want to express. On one side Éric Dupuis placed his camera at the heart of places that are without question perceived as sanctuaries – the churches. At the other extreme, Sol Lang brings us to a place that seems hostile at first glance. Two intimate visions with radically different aesthetics that merge through their perception of place.
