Gilbert Garcin. Le moulin de l’oubli – Mill of oblivion. 1999.
“Gilbert Garcin spent most of his life managing a lamp factory in France. At 65, he retired and took up a trick photography workshop. For the past ten years he has been creating comical, surrealistic photographs which warmly highlight sometimes cold, existential questions. Garcin inhabits this strange world and ponders it together with the viewer; with Garcin you have a dedicated, but perplexed, guide.”
In February, (2009) Gilbert's work was celebrated at the Festival at Rennes.
