«Gabrielle Duplantier is now recognized as one of the most powerful contemporary voices in photography, a voice that immediately carries like flamenco or fado, an outcry at once strong and melancholic but that wipes away everything along its path, like the wind that blows over the moors and hills of her native Basque Country, calling out to myths and legends.
With a raw, high-contrast palette of black and white, she has created a novel visual alphabet, painstakingly constructed over time. The observer is drawn into her images by the sensuality of their shapes and materials, but also by the blurred faces and bodies engaged in rituals, often mys-terious, that play with reality and fiction.»

Claude Nori, from Canto Libero, 2022
