He has traveled through the capitals of the world, and through his photos, he takes us on his journey. In this exhibition, it is in the United States, more precisely in California, that Guillaume Zuili transports us, with two new series of photographs: Joshua Tree and American Redux. Using the lith printing technique, he obtains photographs with a particularly pronounced grain and warm tones, reminiscent of sepia shades.
