Through these journeys, Tendance Floue wanted to experience the paradoxical freedom and constraint that walking offers. The slowing down of time, the submission to the weather and the exhaustion of the body change the relationship to the places crossed, to the landscapes discovered, to the possible encounters produced by this slow movement. The vertigo of freedom, the exhilaration of this rare availability to oneself and to others, the unusual acuity of the gaze on one's surroundings, all of this.

A resolutely open project: thirty-one photographers, including eighteen guests of the collective, in dialogue with writers, designers, painters, scientists... invited by them for a few hours or a few days, have decided to live this experience. Their journeys intrude into the interstices of the French territory. AZIMUT is the result of this state of shared creation, of this desire to practice photography, of this confrontation with the unknown and documentary freedom.

The collective exhibition Azimut was presented at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum in Chalon-sur-Saône until September 2021 and its individual stories can be discovered in the beautiful book “AZIMUT, a photographic walk in France”, published by Éditions Textuel in 2020.

These exhibitions are exclusively available for purchase for municipalities in the regions crossed by the AZIMUT march.
