For Christian Barbé, photography remains a pretext for travel, allowing him to capture present moments through chance encounters. When he photographs, we don’t know whether he’s fascinated by the scene unfolding before his eyes or whether he’s simply trying to preserve it. Most of his photographs are about encounters, moments of sharing and emotion. All the scenes of life, intense and powerful, are captured in the moment in a poetic way that translates beyond words what is most remarkable about everyday life.
