Terres Basses is a collection of works by French female photographer Gabrielle Duplantier. Born in 1978, she studied painting and art history at the University of Bordeaux, where photography was just one of her hobbies. However, after graduating, she moved to Paris and worked as a photographer's assistant and set cameraman, and then moved to the Basque Country. She honed her own style inspired by paintings and painters, and immersed herself in creating a series of photographs in which landscapes, animals, and humans appear as impressionist visions through the beauty of the Basque Country, which fascinated her. Her depictions are condensed into a monochrome world, and one gallerist described them as "a gaze full of compassion that transforms darkness into light." This is a collection of works published in 2018, following the widely praised Volta, and is a book full of coincidences and joys, anxiety and hope, humility and love, and reality and unreality.
