In "Aux bords du monde" Serge Picard (France, b. 1961) explores boundaries - between land and water, water and sky, day and night, then and now. He principally photographs borderlands where people rarely go - on the coast, along the edge of a woods, or the end of a dead-end railway track. Through the way they are printed, Picard gives these poetic images a nostalgic character. Even the most modern lighthouses and ocean-going ships suddenly date back to earlier times. The weathered images with grimy grey tones call up memories of photography of long ago, such as the seascapes of Gustave LeGray.
