Dive into the intimate world of “Les garçons du Levant,” an exquisite photo book by Mathias Chaillot, featuring 128 pages of raw beauty, brought to you by 37.2 Editions. This opus is not just a photo collection; it’s an odyssey into male tenderness spanning four summers on the naturist gem of the Mediterranean, île du Levant. Through Chaillot’s lens, we glimpse the symbiotic relationship between the boys and their paradisiacal surroundings, capturing the unfiltered essence of freedom and nudity.
Les garçons du Levant: A Visual Symphony by Mathias Chaillot
The recent “Paradis Naturistes” exhibition at Mucem in Marseille set the stage for the thematic unveiling of this work, which delves deep into the artistry of naturism.
Mark your calendars for the official launch this September in Paris and Marseille. Please celebrate with the artist at L’hydre aux 1000 têtes bookstore (96 Rue Saint-Savournin) on Wednesday, September 18th.
One electrifying pre-launch event set the anticipation ablaze:
- The Night of Stars on île du Levant: August 4th and 5th at Heliotel, harbour and village square, in collaboration with Nu2 association
Grab your copy when the book is out at select photography bookstores, on the publisher’s website, or directly from the photographer. “Les garçons du Levant” first emerged as an elusive fanzine, limited to 150 copies and a subsequent 200 reprints, all of which swiftly sold out. This enchanting series also graced the Galerie du Lendemain (Paris) during the acclaimed exhibition, Subjective Beauty.
