  For this music / photography creation about the French nuclear tests of the 60s in the Algerian Sahara, Gregory Dargent - oud invites two of the most amazing musicians of the free jazz and traditional music scenes: Anil Eraslan - cello (Absorb solo, Trio, Sousta Politiki) and Wassim Halal - percussion (Bey Ler Bey, Revolutionary Birds, Nizar Rohana trio) to question the irradiation of Art, the loss of identity of victims and on the freedom of desert spaces, somewhere between trances, improvised music and electronic deflagrations. Around this repertoire, a photographic work by Grégory Dargent, realized during the year 2017 in Reggane (Wilaya d'Adrar - Algerie), place of the tests, will be presented in the form of projections and exhibitions. The photography book H wil be released october 2018, with the album.

  H is an introspective work, a work of memory in the Sahara, between Reggane and Tamanrasset, where nearly sixty years ago, the French army conducted nuclear tests.
  
  A look at mobility, the search for the cracks, the scars, in nature, on men, from France to Algeria, from the city to the desert. Under the effect of the heat of the explosions, the Sahara bears the stigma of black patches of vitrified sand, under the effect of radiation, the faces of certain witnesses have melted in the same way, assailed by cancers
  
  In his silver images, rough and contrasted, inhabited by elusive shadows, taken in what seems to be the urgency of a mad race, everything seems on the verge of being engulfed. Gregory Dargent brings out of the dark a radiant and raw light in landscapes, dark deserts and tormented skies, faces and everyday scenes. The images are overexposed and then exaggeratedly darkened to reveal invisible frames, the shutter speeds are slow, the movements evanescent like the heat trails in the desert, and the negatives are themselves sometimes distorted by the chemistry to orchestrate the gaze around the mutated matter more than around the subject.
