And the blue of the sky in the shadow of Manuela Marques returns to the singular experience of the landscape that the artist was able to develop at the invitation of the museum of Lodève. Rather than privileging large photographs with spectacular viewpoints - which the Larzac plateaus or the surroundings of the Salagou lake easily inspire - she preferred to experiment with a more intimate and sensitive approach to the landscape. Observation, displacement, and collection of elements (stones, wood, plants) are an integral part of the development of the work. The artist then integrated these collections into botanical plates of a new kind or into large photographic compositions where optical illusions, black mirrors and reflections create a new point of view: between the vision of a landscape and the imagination that it provokes. In a way, she reinvents a landscape through what intrinsically constitutes it.
