The Hourdel blockhouse - Poster

Photograph ''The Hourdel Blockhaus'' by Benjamin Delaporte

Poster Description:
This black and white photograph offers a poignant vision of a blockhouse, a remnant of the Atlantic Wall, struggling against the sea that seems to want to engulf it. Captured with a long exposure technique, the image presents a milky sky and a rough sea, creating an ethereal and almost unreal atmosphere. The wooden piles, erected in an irregular line, also seem to be fighting against erosion, adding a touch of resilience in the face of the inexorable advance of the tides.

The sharp contrast between the solid elements of the blockhouse and the piles, and the blurred softness of the water reinforces the theme of resistance against the force of nature. The diagonal perspective of the piles guides the eye towards the blockhouse, accentuating the sense of movement and gradual sliding towards the sea. This image evokes a reflection on the passage of time, vulnerability and permanence.

• Reflection on Time: The image invites meditation on nature, erosion and the permanence of human structures in the face of natural forces.
