Über das Buch
There are over 110,000 miles of major walking trails in France.

Walking trails are marked by small slashes painted on trees, rocks, utility poles, fence posts, even buildings.



These marks, (called fleches) taken on hikes in the Corbiere region of France, have a variety of messages for walkers -“this way”, or “don’t go there!” etc. but also contain a visual richness when seen in a different context from their original purpose.



The photographs in this book is part of a series, which I call “visual noise”, taken over the last 5 years looking at the texture, colour and form of the marks themselves.

Barry Lewis
London, England

I was born in London in 1948. Having originally studied theoretical chemistry I won a scholarship from the Royal College of Art to do an MA in photography. This opportunity saw the start of my career, which began in 1976 when I won the Vogue Award and worked as a staff photographer for the magazine. I have produced several books, founded the Network photographers agency and photographed for magazines throughout the world including Life & National Geographic and received the Oscar Barnac award in 1991 In recent years, my work has become more diverse: I have been working on short films, explored different styles of portraiture and have worked extensively for corporate and advertising clients. I am currently working on 3 major projects, a film entitled Flow, Visual Noise (an exploration of image & messaging in the visual landscape) and “The White Tent”, a portrait project using a mobile white tent across the UK from Glastonbury to a festival of erotica.
