Retired, Gilbert Garcin photographs in his garden shed. His world is appealing, he is internationally recognized: a fast-track fairy tale to prove that the world of art is not a closed shop. Garcin is no naïve painter, but a life far from art studies has certainly preserved in him a certain freshness. Nonetheless, we can place him between Teun Hocks and Chema Madoz, photographers with surrealist humour. He prefers to point to Buster Keaton, and his photographic double also evokes Monsieur Hulot. With retirement, anything could happen!
