As he guides us through the grounds of the Montalivet naturist center (Gironde), Hervé Szydlowski abolishes the otherwise solid boundaries of ages and generations, and silences the aesthetic canons whose infinite contradictory variations emerge from the history of Art. Szydlowski achieves the plenitude of a philosophical return to a humanitý freed from the screeds imposed on it by civil or religious societies, and even more so by the cult of young, healthy bodies. Here, the photographer extends to the living a gaze that apprehends life as a beach of happiness to which it is up to no one to impose the more or less clear limits of tolerance.
