Trova
by Gilles Roudière

“Gilles Roudière belongs to this family of intuitive and sensitive photography, he does not tell the world as it is, but as he feels it. Also in the images of Cuba that he delivers, there is no intention of testimony, nor documentary intention. Nothing is descriptive. No clue, no geographic or social study. This is not his design. ” 

“With  Trova  , Gilles Roudière signs a photographic stroll through Cuba, like the Hispano-American  trovadores  going from town to town to perform their songs. He lets himself be carried away by his journey and delivers powerful black and white images, with exploded grain. Without ever stopping at the surface of things, freed from clichés and any exotic temptation, his photographs play between fiction and reality and compose a story that seems straight out of a movie. Photographs often bordering on surrealism, carried by a fascinated and fascinating gaze. ” - Caroline Bénichou
