Passage of Days
Photographs by Pierre Toutain-Dorbec
Text by John Biscello
Through a lens starkly, undertake a photographic odyssey into the sun-baked heart of Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains. Spanning the years 1975–1981, Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s visits with the Imazighen people who live in the Imilchil region led to a visual record and testament to a pastoral way of life attuned to the cyclical flux of seasons, to the rhythms of nature herself.
This exquisite black-and-white collection reflects a chronologically compressed life in the day of the Imazighen, underscored by the interior narratives and silent stories implied in a stunning montage of portraits, while also capturing the grit, symmetry, and high-desert mystique of the resident landscape.
