Description
"Autour du Paddock" is a true, poetic, and human immersion into a little-known world—that of harness racing. This book is a visual tribute to those who work far from the spotlight, in a universe where passion meets reality.
This artistic reportage unveils the daily lives of these devoted individuals—breeders, grooms, drivers—through all weather conditions, whether under bright skies or during grey, rainy days. Each image tells a story: one of labour, effort, deep connection with the horses, and a milieu where women are taking on an increasingly significant role.
There are no spectacular finish-line shots here, but rather sincere and sometimes unexpected moments, captured with artistic sensitivity. "Autour du Paddock" reveals the truth of this world: weathered faces, precise gestures, and that unique bond between human and animal, seized in soft or striking light.
Excerpts from Alexandre Dostie's Trois saisons aux courses, testimonies from those in the paddock, and a foreword by Raymond Corriveau accompany this work.
