La Loire

This ongoing series, started in 2009, documents the riverside of La Loire. Nantes was formed along this river. Its port has long been the main reason for its development (the triangular trade made his fortune). The port was livened up by the loading and unloading ships and by shipyards until the 80’s. Now, boats with drafts ever deeper have to dock at St Nazaire, more downstream. Today, these places do not have the function for which they were built. They have become residual spaces although they are the heart of the city. The purpose of this series is to reveal the atmosphere that the water give to these linear altered territories .
