“Be Breizh”—Sea, cider, crêpes or galettes, sky, and Brezhoneg represent more than vacation elements; they embody a way of life—they are Brittany itself. This realization struck me when I returned to Brittany for the first time in over 25 years. Since Brittany remains the only place where Celtic culture survives through Brezhoneg, I composed the image’s tribute in that language.
This work belongs to the “Playing around with skies and waters” series. The combined SKY and SEA series explores both themes through three dimensions: visual, textual, and auditory.
[A] The combination of the background of the picture (sky and sea) and another visual object may evoke an (English) term that is ambiguous in German and thus “calls up a second theme”.
[B] In addition, this combination may result in a new subject or an invented word through an equally pronounced but differently spelled word combination, as well as through a differently pronounced but equally spelled word.
[C] Sometimes it is the title of the work that reveals the background and thematic association of the image.
[D] And in the one or other case it is just a modified photograph.
