Rachel Cobb presents 'Mistral' at Albertine

Sunday, December 16 at 4 PM, Albertine presents photographer Rachel Cobb speaking on her latest book, Mistral, a portrait of Provence seen through its legendary wind, with an introduction by Bill Buford and excerpts from writings by Paul Auster, Lawrence Durrell, Jean Giono and Frédéric Mistral. Book signing to follow.

Cobb spent years chasing the Mistral, which is the name of an incessant and capricious wind that inhabits the Provence region of France. In so doing, she challenged herself to photograph the invisible. As she became sensitive to the wind’s rhythms and effects, Cobb realized the Mistral was not just a weather phenomenon; it was an integral part of the fabric of Provençal life. It was everywhere, yet always unseen.

In English. Free and open to the public. No RSVP necessary.
