180 models identified
Pop pop, the livre, Written in French and English, is sober and elegant. The fruit of 10 years of collaboration between members of the association. The 112 pages identify 180 pop-pops Even if I have uncertainties on the identification of certain models ”,
says the president. A unique work devoted to this small metal toy which advances on water thanks to a boiler whose heat comes from a candle.
He tells the story of the association and the metal boat proper with winks
Relates Rodolphe Perrodeau. The idea germinated in 2015, the following year the first photo was taken and the work is committed.
A real staging is created in the landscape of the country of Retz. We find the boat, outdoors, on the water of the Bernerie, canal of Haute-Perche, on the sand of the Sennetière leaning against baths, in Paimboeuf, in Croisic, to the saltworks of Millac, in the Moutiers. I spent an hour taking pictures from 7 a.m. At the end of the catches, I rinsed the boat but it rusted with the salinity of the middle ”,
recalls Rodolphe Perrodeau.
Other photos were taken in the studio, in a light tent, among others by Raphaël Michaud, Vincent Jacques, professional photographer, and Rodolphe With little or very beautiful shadows
. For the occasion, the latter even equipped with photographic equipment. I bought express objectives because I like to take beautiful photos.
In addition to the staging, the idea of rhythm and the layout goes to Yohan Gaborit. He made the chapters.
Yohan has invested a lot in the project and Since 2017, he has been carrying out the posters volunteering.
The artist also designed the illustration of the page of the book. In terms of texts, we find the proses of Dominique Dupau, Éric Schmitlin, Rodolphe Perrodeau and Yohan Gaborit.
