Tracing the steps of the iconic American photographer Paul Strand, who photographed Quebec's Gaspe region in 1929 and again in 1938, contemporary photographer Bertrand Carriere revisits both the artist and the land. This new series of photographs, some with the dame views as Strand, testifies to the profound transformation of what was once a remote territory of fishing villages. The fishing industry is dead, the cod shacks are gone and the older fishermen have sold their licenses. Far from evoking classic views tinged with nostalgia, Carriere's photographs are documentary works about territory, people and landscapes.
