” Gouter à l’amour sous le Pont Mirabeau" Description « Taste love under the Mirabeau Bridge » Tribute to Guillaume Appolinaire poetry. Cry of alarm in the face of global warming. Place : Mirabeau bridge, flood February 2021, Seine river, Paris. Le Pont Mirabeau is a poem by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire that appeared in the last issue of the magazine Les Soirées de Paris in February 1912 and was later included in his 1913 collection Alcools, where it is placed second between Zone and La Chanson du mal-aimé. It is about the disappearance of love over time, the metaphor for which is the flow of the Seine under the Mirabeau Bridge in Paris1. A plaque on this bridge today bears the first lines of the poem. Apollinaire was inspired to write this poem by Marie Laurencin, with whom he often crossed this bridge and with whom he began an affair in 1907. The image of the bridge is linked to memories of the poet's love affairs. In a letter to Madeleine Pagès, he describes the poem as "the sad song of this long-broken union". Le Pont Mirabeau est un poème du poète français Guillaume Apollinaire paru dans le dernier numéro de la revue Les Soirées de Paris en février 1912 puis repris en 1913 dans son recueil Alcools, où il figure en deuxième position entre Zone et La Chanson du mal-aimé. Il traite de la disparition de l'amour avec le passage du temps, dont la métaphore est l'écoulement de la Seinesous le pont Mirabeau, à Paris1. Une plaque sur ce pont reprend aujourd'hui les premiers vers du poème. Ce poème a été inspiré à Apollinaire par Marie Laurencin, avec qui il a souvent franchi ce pont et avec laquelle il commence une liaison en 1907. L'image de ce pont est liée aux souvenirs des amours du poète. Il dira de ce poème qu'il est comme « la chanson triste de cette longue liaison brisée », dans une lettre adressée à Madeleine Pagès.

Bruno Houdayer, French artist defines himself as a visual creator. Since childhood Bruno has roamed the World in search of its inner untold stories. Photography is one of his main medium, but he perceives it in a plastic approach and practices it to discover « a photography in suspension, between the figurative and the abstract... ». If he blurs the lines of the real image by emphasizing the colors, reinforcing the graphic lines and misleading with blurs, it is only to better share his vision with the audience and «install a strong but reassuring vital resonance between the images and the viewers. Each photograph is an opportunity to question the image, its essence, its function, and its message. He sees his art as a three-way exchange, a sharing between the artist, the image and the viewer. He positions himself as a transmitter of emotions that he feels while photographing and that he incorporates into his work. He wants to evoke these emotions and share them with as many people as possible by exploring what is most pleasing about an image: a clever mix of light, texture and composition. A deep desire for continuity between the serenity and energy he feels as an artist and that which settles in the heart of the viewer. An invitation to make a break, to contemplate, to dream, to meditate, to recharge the batteries... His own questioning of visual emotions goes back to his childhood. At the age of 6, he accidentally discovered the principle of the pinhole camera, the camera obscura without aperture or lens. Hidden in a closet, he marveled at the projection of an often blurry, colorful, graphic, dancing and inverted image through the keyhole onto the wall. He wants to evoke these emotions and share them with as many people as possible by exploring what is most pleasing about an image: a clever mix of light, texture and composition. From 2009 to 2012 he moved to Barcelona, where he continued his research in a sunny and colourful environment. He began the series SOFT (work on optical blur) CONCRETE WAVE, SEA SKY and IN THE WHITE. The energy emanating from the works of Klein, Rothko and Kandinsky drives him to an obsessive search for aesthetics and perfect geometric shapes, as well as for the emotional and energetic power of colours. The sources of inspiration The light of the Mediterranean, which is often found in his works, recalls a childhood marked by churches and the filtered light of stained glass.
