Born in 1966 in France, Christophe Cassegrain start shoting the landscape nature in 1986. Interested by the forms, the volumes and the light that he can find in the landscape, he shots, with large format camera, the nature as he see it : a vision of landscape stripped of all human, social or cultural presence, essentially based on the choice of the subject that expresses the pureness of line, the rendering of the subject matter and the light, trying at the same time to nurture the viewer with emotions as intense as those experienced while taking the shot.

Since many years, most of his work is realized in North America continent and inspired by this sentence of Wim Wenders ".this manner of disappearing altogether into what one sees, to no longer feel the need of interpretation, but only to look.". Softness and grace of those rock landscapes having as the only accomplice the silence's sound.

The author is no longer the artist of the shot, the aesthetic of the landscape alone is here to remind us of this.
