Cirque de la Forêt - Life in the forest of Fontainebleau
This book is my photographic exploration into what life in the forest of Fontainebleau looks like today.
Fontainebleau which lies about 50km south of Paris is where bouldering was born and is still regarded as the finest place in the world to practice the sport. However, it looks very different now to what it did 150+ years ago when people first started scaling the sandstone boulders in this forest. So much has happened to drive this change and to build and spread this culture, there have been pioneers, controversies, world’s firsts, new inventions and many many more stories mixed in.
We right now might not realise it but each of us is part of the next 150+ years of change ahead. This book is a view from my eyes, an observation of culture, and a marker in the ground for future generations to look back on life in the forest today.
