A River Named Love by Emanuel Bovet and Orane Mertz Kozieja is a contemplative book that explores the blurred space between Russia and China. The authors immerse us in landscapes of porous borders where each photo becomes an enigma, capturing fragments of anonymous lives and fleeting stories. This is not a traditional travel diary, but a notebook of captured moments and open questions, a journal of fragmented images where banality and poetry blend in a harmonious chaos. The book bears witness to a reality that is both tender and troubled, between the flashes of life and the shadows of latent war. The scenes – an old woman, torn posters, dancing children, lovers under a pink sky – draw a daily life that is both ordinary and sacred, inviting the reader to contemplate these pieces of life as memories that still vibrate. This “river” of Love does not seek to explain, but to awaken in us personal resonances, an introspection. Each image becomes a door to incomplete stories, a current that invites us to let ourselves be carried away, to discover our own flaws through these modest and vibrant scenes of life. […]

Biographies

Emanuel Bovet is dedicated to the representation of humans and everyday realities, capturing the emotions and paradoxes that animate our existence. In search of authentic moments, he sensitively reveals the subtleties and contrasts of life. Through photography and cinema, his works take the form of a diary, each image delivering a sensation and an atmosphere, revealing a story with hidden dimensions. His work is intended as a visual testimony of life and its environment, illustrating the path taken and the experiences that have marked him. His creations offer a personal and profound vision of the human, in all its complexity.

Orane Mertz Kozieja is a multidisciplinary artist in search of transformation and inner reconciliation. Initially fascinated by theater, where she explores characters as reflections of the unconscious, she turned to other mediums: self-portrait, video, writing. Through letters to strangers, she weaves connections and enriches her imagination. A journey on the River of Love inspires her search for connections between body and heart, and knitting becomes for her an extension of her identity, each garment linking her inner world to her outer expression. In her videos, she explores desire and eroticism, strengthening her connection to femininity. Her universe, between dream and reality, invites an intimate, sensory and poetic immersion.
