The book is built according to a principle inspired by cinema, a fluid montage of images that conveys the unfolding narrative. The large format accentuates the effect of immersion in the immense landscapes where the action takes place. We follow in the footsteps of a mysterious young woman, dressed as an urban dweller who goes deep into the forest...<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 translation-block\">In the middle appears an amazing gallery of illuminated trees. Those images are accompanied with an unprecedented and magical short story written by novel writer <a href=\"https:\/\/editionslightmotiv.com\/en\/auteurs-photographers\/berengere-cournut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B\u00e9reng\u00e8re Cournut<\/a> which resonates in deep echo with Olivia Lavergne's photographs. Then the third part of the book takes the reader in the wake of a Mentawa\u00ef family (called the flower men). The photographs' vibrant light gives an atmosphere suspended between reality and imagination, and conveys an intimate knowledge of the inhabited jungle like an immense garden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 translation-block\">The book <strong><em>Jungles<\/em><\/strong>, anchored in the so <span class=\"s1\">contemporary question of the relationship between nature and human beings, explores a new editorial genre that would be to photography what storytelling is to literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 translation-block\"><strong><em>Jungles<\/em><\/strong>'s foreword is written by Xavier Canonne, director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museephoto.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Museum of Photography in Charleroi<\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\"><em>\u00ab Were it not for the strange glimmers illuminating and probing the depths of these jungles, they might appear to be empty of all human presence. The chaos of the forest, startled by the lens in what appears to be stillness, reveals all its diversity, the merest flower, the merest leaf, a spontaneous hierarchy that man attempts to dominate, a world whose troubling power preceded him and which he must subdue. \u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">Excerpt of Xavier Canonne's foreword<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\"><em>\u00ab It was him I saw first, as he was coming towards me.
