Le Feuilletage #24｜Pia-Paulina Guilmoth – At Night Gardens Grow

At Night Gardens Grow moves through the backwoods of a place both real and imagined, formed as much by memory as by a very specific geographical location in Maine.

First published in 2021, At Night Gardens Grow disappeared within a few short months of its release. This new edition reshapes the work from within, adding unseen images, and removing others, not as a revisionist act but as continuation. These images stand with one foot in contemporary America and the other in a more ancient register, haunted by family, memory, and the land itself.

From baptisms to spider silk monuments, funerals, house fires, holes carved into rock, and birth, At Night Gardens Grow gathers stories that are as fragile as the world they are built upon. Combining carefully constructed large format photographs with more instinctive documentary images, Pia Paulina Guilmoth works through found and fabricated landscapes that resist fixed location. The setting remains deliberately unstable, never fully named, yet immediately familiar. What emerges is a terrain held together by atmosphere rather than map, where personal history and collective myth are allowed to overlap.

The talk will be held in English and followed by a book signing.
Tickets are available here.

Le Feuilletage is an event format created by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson dedicated to the photobook. It invites a photographer to revisit the genesis of one of their works — from image selection to sequencing and book design.
