In an era where instant gratification often reigns supreme, the story of Maxime Daviron, a photographer who dedicated a decade of his life to capturing the essence of the mountains, stands out as a testament to patience, passion, and perseverance. His journey into the heart of the wilderness wasn’t just about snapping picturesque landscapes; it was a profound exploration of nature’s raw beauty and the human spirit’s symbiotic relationship with it.
In his words “There is something ineffable emanating from the wild atmospheres of the high altitudes. Vaporous feelings mingle: fascination, anguish, humility. An omnipresent eerieness awakens buried instincts in us, bringing our mind back to the stage of a fearful contemplation in the face of the brute forces that seem to inhabit these immensities. It is from this introspective state of consciousness that “Forgotten Lands” – “Terres Perdues” in its original French title – drew its roots ten years ago. With pictorial and cinematographic influences, the concept is also to tell a story in each image; bringing together fragments of unsuspected visions with the idea of evoking a primitive world, prior to the Anthropocene. For this purpose, the most tormented elements act as a revealer, exacerbating the wild presence that reigns in this vertical universe.”
