At first when looking at the Atlas des Régions Naturelles we were inclined to think of the project in the context of architectural photography. This is of course fine but incorrect. The work of photographer Eric Tabuchi and painter Nelly Monnier belongs to the world of the ready-made. The effect of these ultra clear mostly landscape or architectural images, punctuated by Monnier’s archeological-style paintings, is confoundment. These are buildings and situations recontextualized, not clothed in a discipline but made naked and beautifully strange.
