Founded in 1729, Maison Ruinart is the oldest champagne vintner in the world. This year at KYOTOGRAPHIE, Ruinart presents the work of 2019 Maison Ruinart prizewinner Elsa Leydier. She was selected from the Curiosa showcase for new emerging talent at Paris Photo 2019. Invited to the Ruinart vineyards in the Champagne region for the 2019 grape harvest, Leydier crafted cameraless direct photo-paper exposures – capturing light using the rayogram technique — of vines and leaves together with images of farmworkers, accentuating their rapport with nature. The Heatwave series of 12 mixed media light works, Leydier seeks to highlight the issue of climate change which is dramatically shifting the balance between people and nature.
