About Géraldine Jenner
In the mist-shrouded valleys of the French Alps during winter 2017, Géraldine Jenner spent 42 consecutive days documenting the slow retreat of a single glacier, not with time-lapse gear, but through large-format platinum-palladium prints made on-site in a mobile darkroom. This series, 'L’Écho du Vide', became a watershed moment in contemporary landscape practice: it fused archival photographic chemistry with ecological urgency, rejecting digital immediacy in favor of material slowness as ethical stance. Her work resists the sublime spectacle common in nature photography; instead, she frames erosion, quiet decay, and human absence with forensic tenderness, often using expired film stocks and hand-coated papers that subtly shift tone over decades. Based in Lyon but working across abandoned industrial zones in northern France and coastal marshlands in Brittany, Jenner’s compositions privilege silence over drama, ambiguity over resolution, and the tactile grain of emulsion over pixel-perfect clarity.
