About the Book
Depuis des temps immémoriaux, les hommes et les femmes façonnent les paysages par des gestes simples, précis, répétés chaque jour. La mécanisation a transformé le travail, mais elle n’a pas remplacé ce qui en constitue l’essence : connaître la terre,
comprendre les bêtes, composer avec les saisons. Dans ces gestes séculaires se lit une relation au vivant, patiente et exigeante, où chaque jour recommence sans jamais être tout à fait le même. / Since time immemorial, men and women have shaped the landscape through simple, precise, repetitive gestures performed every day. Mechanization has transformed the work, but it has not replaced what constitutes its essence: knowing the land, understanding the animals, and adapting to the seasons.
In these age-old actions, one can see a relationship with living things—patient and demanding—where each day begins anew without ever being quite the same.
