Now that, for some people, the coastal landscape was doubtful, we remember more intensely the trips we made to the beach. We are so eager to return that we managed to evoke even the smallest details. The Dutch photographer, Cleo Goossens offers us Route du Soleil<\/em>, joining the collective nostalgia for the pandemic<\/a> of “the good old days”. This photo album is fuller of sensations and emotions than of images.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cleo<\/p>\n

It is impossible to remember a whole life, but the moments we keep inside have a special meaning. That is to say, everything we can remember with strength is because they overflowed our emotions, even if they manifested themselves in different ways. For example, a smile, a laugh, a tear, or a feeling of skin crawling; the truth is, we know we will remember that moment in the very moment we are living it.<\/p>\n

The latter is what Cleo Goossens (@cleogoossens<\/strong><\/a>) new work is about, the insignificant flashes of our memories that are able to move us in every possible way. The photographer acknowledges that she has always been able to think better with images. She also recognizes that languages have been an obstacle she has never been able to overcome. Therefore, she is enthusiastic that her work breaks down language barriers and can be understood by everyone. A photograph does not need words.<\/p>\n

Route du Soleil<\/strong> <\/em>is very different from what we have seen so far in his career. Goossens specializes in documentary photography, but this album is a collection of memories from her childhood with her parents. This collection of photos comes after the tenth anniversary of his father’s death. And in it he recalls his summer of 1981<\/strong> on the French route from Paris to Lyon.<\/p>\n
