The Eckm\u00fchl lighthouse is in southern Finist\u00e8re, below a surfing mecca in Brittany, the bay of Audierne, the long line on the left on the cyanography.
\nChildhood memories dot my memory… and the shooting of Oc\u00e9an, by Jacques Cluzaud and Jacques Perrin, the last time I was there.<\/p>\n

In 2019 I went back there under amazing circumstances, a coup de th\u00e9\u00e2tre offered me a family around here. A great weekend of walks and emotions, photos, the carnival of Dourmenez in the rain, waves, the lighthouse of Eckm\u00fchl.
\nAt the end of the year, big reunions in complete families, a birthday in the “new” branch and this cyanography which reinterprets this amazing turn of life.cyanography includes two visual sources, first of all the base painted with cyanotype ink, in the shape of a map of the region where the lighthouse of Eckm\u00fchl is located, the point of Penmarc’h. This map is drawn by hand in large format, 50 cm by 65 cm, and painted with some effects on the contours, more or less sharp, wet, dry depending on the nature of the shore, beach, port, etc.. The image shows it before the exposure so in yellow-green, the paper is still curled, on the table in the dark part of the studio.<\/p>\n

In this first version by Sterenn Eckm\u00fchl, I painted the inside of the card with photosensitive ink, to place the spiral pattern under our steps. The sea is thus in white, the land in blue. In a more maritime version, still with the same negative, I chose a part of the map further west and it is the sea that is painted. The spiral is in front of the Bay of Audierne, like the great wave of Hokusa\u00ef.
\nThe second visual source is a photographic montage of the staircase inside the lighthouse.\u00a0 The negative I created comes from several photos taken from the top of the stairs, in order to enhance the two motifs: The spiral is a little off-center and in the middle the star.<\/p>\n

Similarly, I reworked the walls, shiny plates of opaline, notably by erasing the narrow windows of the lighthouse. I wanted to avoid the play of light, architectural details that catch the eye in the wrong direction. The star, the spiral, the map, the poetic twist is in place and each gaze can give way to its own imagination. This lighthouse was ideally situated to compose my cyanography, both in geography, in sensitive charge and in history: when I asked about its funny name, I knew that it was him I had to choose, and no other lighthouse, no other staircase :<\/p>\n

Indeed, the Marquise Ad\u00e9la\u00efde-Louise d’Eckm\u00fchl de Blocqueville bequeathed in her will the sum of 300,000 francs for the construction of a lighthouse. This lighthouse will be named “Eckm\u00fchl’s lighthouse” in honor of her father Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout, Prince of Eckm\u00fchl.
\nThis title of nobility comes from the battle of Eckm\u00fchl which he had led on April 22, 1809 near the village of Eggm\u00fchl in Bavaria. With this gesture, the Marquise hopes that “the tears shed by the fatality of wars, which I fear and hate more than ever, will be redeemed by the lives saved from the storm.\u00a0“She also wants the lighthouse to be located on the coast of Brittany and in a safe place to stand the test of time.
\nThank you for the article from wikipedia and the Marquise d’Eckm\u00fchl.<\/p>\n
