About This Podcast
Photography and Walking is a podcast about how moving through the world changes the way we see it. Each episode explores photographers, artworks, and places where walking and seeing meet — from city streets to coastlines and blindfolded performances in Venice. Host Philippe Guillaume brings together the history of photography, storytelling, and observation to trace how images map experience step by step.
Photography and Walking est un balado sur la manière dont le fait de se déplacer dans le monde transforme notre regard. Chaque épisode explore des photographes, des œuvres et des lieux où la marche et le regard se croisent — des rues de la ville aux rivages, jusqu’aux performances à l’aveugle à Venise. Philippe Guillaume y mêle histoire de la photographie, récit et observation pour montrer comment les images tracent, pas à pas, notre expérience du monde.
