PIERRE HYBRE – ROCKEURS, RÊVEURS ET AUTRES JOYEUX GARÇONS

Filed under: Photographie | Tags: , , |

Le Gibus, La Boule Noire, le Réservoir, le Tryptique… Pierre Hybre a travaillé deux ans dans les lieux cultes de la jeunesse rock, protégeant ses boitiers de la moiteur, de l’effervescence, de la surchauffe et des coups. La Petite Poule Noire est née comme un antidote à la crise, du désir de cinq amis et associés, passionnés de photographie, de se lancer dans un pari un peu fou quand toutes les voix appelaient à la prudence…
