To winter there is a visual story inspired by Louis Jolliet’s expeditions (1645-1700) through North America, which he explored throughout his life until his disappearance at sea. Nearly three hundred years later, Charles-Frédérick Ouellet set off in the footsteps of this forgotten figure along the rivers that flow inland. His photographs unveil two opposite territories, one in the southern United States towards the mouth of the Mississippi, the other in northern Quebec where the Labrador Sea imposes itself. In an unprecedented way and with no linearity, he explored what became of the utopia of a French America.
To Winter There, 17 x 24 cm, 156 pages + 16 pages-booklet with texts, circa 82 reproductions in trichromy, hardcover with screen printing. Text: French / English. Graphic design: Criterium.
