“A world of a unique transparence, light, pleasant, welcoming and sensitive; a series of timeless pictures, between nostalgia and dream, which call for happiness. .[…] A call f or contemplation, an invitation to leave a kind of rationality in order to reach and enjoy the Impossible.”
Christian Caujolle, founder of Agence VU
“Julie de Waroquier created quite a surprising dreamy work. She uses a very special light, quite transparent and extremely light. We see this young woman that evolves in imaginary landscapes which are inner and external landscapes at the same time, bucolic landscapes. We feel like we evolve in a kind of cloudy dream, light and ethereal. This is a work that relies a lot on this kind of transparency of pictures.”
François Hébel, former artistic director of the Rencontres d’Arles, artistic director of Paris Photo
