It is also the largest, one of the least populated, and one of the most strategic states. While the Wild West fascinates photographers, few ever venture to Alaska. Before his untimely death in late 2022, Ronan Guillou made four extensive journeys to Alaska. A photographer of the ephemeral, guided by the intensity of his encounters, he did not give in to the temptation of exoticism—something easy to do in this land of paradoxes. The result is a body of astonishingly free-flowing images, punctuated by the four seasons. Brice Matthieussent and Héloïse Conésa contribute essays that shed light on Guillou's oeuvre.
