Eric Baudelaire has his own personal vision of the country and his work is not a photographic report or documentary. Nothing appears to have changed in 10 years. The buildings destroyed by bombing have not been rebuilt, construction has come to a complete standstill and devastated seaside resorts lie empty. Only the surrounding vegetation continues to grow.
This interminable wait is reflected in Baudelaire's nostalgic works which depict an abandoned landscape.
