ABOUT THE BOOK

This book will be printed in January 2026 and shipped in early February.
The printing will be done on 170 g semi-matte paper, with a 400 g soft matte-laminated cover. The chosen format, 21×15 cm in landscape orientation, offers a comfortable hold for the 152 pages and 108 photographs presented by the author.

The book offers an insight into four decades of photographic exploration, and I’m delighted to share them with you through this beautiful edition.

A word from the editor

Éric Petr’s photography is neither conventional nor what one expects photography to be. It defies meaning, disregards rules, and plays with shadows. It tells nothing or almost nothing. It ridicules overly long sentences, wandering descriptions, and confusing variations. It shows what one dares not look at: time. And with it, the multitude of dimensions that intertwine.
Éric Petr’s work does not simply show; it captures. More than geometric figures or overlapping traces of light, the artist freezes that tangible invisibility, that “abstract, constant and present”.

WHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A SNAPSHOT?

Photography is more than just taking pictures

When it’s exhibited, edited or published, it’s the result of a lot of hard work, a lot of passion and a real human, temporal and financial investment.

If photography exists, it’s also thanks to those who support it: amateurs, enthusiasts, collectors, professionals, but also the photographers and artists themselves who defend it on a daily basis.

However, to ensure that all these beautiful images discovered free of charge on social networks can continue to exist, it’s essential to support photographers in your own way. Buying a postcard, a book, a small limited-edition photo or a work of art of your own means contributing to the survival of art photography in a world where we’re getting used to “seeing without paying”.

There’s no such thing as a small contribution: even 5 euros invested in a participatory edition to encourage an artist is already a strong, committed gesture.

I sincerely thank you, who bought or invested 5 euros in my book SPIRITUELLES ODYSSÉES, published in February 2017 by Éditions Corridor Éléphant introduced by a magnificent seven-page text by Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret.

Your support has deeply helped and accompanied me on my journey as an emerging photographer. Thank you!!!

MY TIMELESS EFFLORESCENCES OPUS 8

ポピー opus_8 © Eric Petr, 2022

Barely suggested,
and sometimes evanescent as a thought,
in a movement generated by warm kisses,
ruby color,
pink or sunny,
symbol of lightness and carelessness,
like a breath which would cross the seasons,
straight out of the matrix of the world,
are reborn in this magical Provence,
the time of a dance announcing the torrid heat,
my timeless efflorescences.

A TELLURIC JAPAN | CORRIDOR ÉLÉPHANT’S EXHIBITION

I am very happy to know that my photographic story 「地電流」has been featured on CORRIDOR ÉLÉPHANT photography exhibitions!

地電流, in Japanese, means telluric current.

This photographic work highlights the perceived feeling, when one lives in Japan, of these enigmatic forces which make the identity of Japanese culture.
I relate this dull telluric energy to images that respond to some of these vibrations as if it were, in a way, a topological ultrasound.
