After wandering for a year in the territory of Vélizy-Villacoublay, Valérie Jouve presents the works produced over the four seasons in a city inhabited by nature. In his photographs, the artist highlights both the body of the city through the architecture, the trees, in dialogue with the inhabitants. In this moving, fluctuating, common space, the photographer takes a delicate look at the changes of our time.
