MARGES is a photographic work carried out between 2012 and 2024 along the Seine, from its confluence with the Yonne to its mouth at Le Havre. Jérémie Lenoir flies over these territories following a very precise shooting protocol used in all his aerial missions: always at the same altitude of 400 metres, always around midday. Building sites, wasteland, quarries, roofs and storage facilities take on abstract and symbolic features that arrest the eye, opening the way to a sensitive, poetic and plastic contemplation.

Published in january 2025, MARGES is the 3rd book dedicated toJérémie Lenoir's work published by Editions Light Motiv, after DUST in 2018 and NORD in 2016. 

David Meskhi's photographs are exhibited from 9 November 2024 to 16 March 2025 at the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain in Saint-Etienne. They underline the pure athletic gesture of this Olympic year.

The book released for the exhibition and produced by MAMC+ and Editions Light Motiv with graphic designer Nolwen Lauzanne, is spacious and elegant. It shows the cosmic dynamics of the gymnasts who seem to float in the air in a moment of weightlessness. The occasional images of moons add a breath of fresh air to this vibrantly coloured choreography.
