Project
There are a hundred sailors in my garden
Personal difficulties, followed by the years of the COVID pandemic, brought my project, which was to highlight the seafarers of Brest’s commercial port, to a screeching halt.
I met them through the Seamen’s Club, where they are welcomed for rest, relax, and play in the premises on Quai de la Douane. I also visited them at their workplaces on board ships, mainly in the mornings during their coffee breaks.
They agreed to answer my questions about their families, their work and their projects. They also agreed to let me photograph them at the Seamen’s Club or on their ship.
