Correspondances. With our writing systems we transfer thoughts via black marks, punctuation. They become tools and witnesses to transmit past and future, throughout shapes, glyphs... While both writing and speaking is inherent to mankind, for some civilizations, language has vanished, time has taken over, engulfing its remains. But within nature, the landscape still shows the landmarks once erected  by a former author: temples, menhir… Barely nothing is known about the social organization and beliefs of the populations who erected the menhirs. No trace of their language has survived on to this day but the monoliths stand proud on the horizon as a rhythm, a punctuation mark. This photo essay is an excavation of the archeology of conversation, standing stones, landscapes, both invoking an architecture of a sentence. Their forms perpetuate the lineage of our ancestors and here continues to evolve past the death of their authors, resurrecting a forgotten language through its “forest of symbol”.
