Camille Llobet
The artist Camille Llobet realizes with the support of the Bullukian Foundation Pacheû, a sound and video creation project whose objective is to record the memory of a landscape in the process of disappearance, the desert environment of the high mountains of the massif of Mont-Blanc.
