On the dock of Lorient, a woman in red coat, we guide … IS MY WONDERFUL CREATURE is a book that unites Bernard Molins photographs and text by Marie-Hélène Lafon. The mechanical universe ubiquitous plant decor mixed fog and rain, where day and night hesitate. The text, dense, floating in space. It underlines the lack of men and reminds us of the toil, the pain. The body dressed in red leaves traces.
