Porquerolles Pétanque on the Place d’Armes

The gallery's
opinion

“Porquerolles Pétanque on the Place d’Armes” is a contemporary black and white photograph by José Nicolas. It is a silver print in a limited edition of 30 copies.

As part of a report on the island of Porquerolles, off the coast of Hyères, the photographer focuses on the life of this privileged place.

Of course, visitors flock there every day by boat, to enjoy the beaches and the car-free paths. It is good to go for a bike ride. But when the last ferry has left the harbour, life returns to the slow pace of a game of pétanque.

The subject, the peace that emanates from it, but also the quality of the silver print, make this photo by the author seem timeless. A golden age, where happiness is simply in the moment.
