The Waiting

Présentation

The Waiting, is a photo and audio essay that follows the pursuits of women hunters and their intimate relationship with the land, the wildlife and each other. Photographed between the south of France, Louisiana and Mississippi, the women in this series take us on a meditative journey from stillness to the irreversible act of killing. Like goddesses of the hunt, they embody the tension between protector and destroyer, violence and vulnerability. From sunrise to sunset, the huntresses disappear into the bayous, rice fields and duck blinds for hours in search of their prey.
