This photograph by Charles Pétillon, titled Brutalisme, pays tribute to brutalist architecture by reconstructing its raw, geometric forms in the heart of nature. A monolithic, angular structure, reminiscent of concrete, emerges unexpectedly in the lush forest, partially invaded by white balloons that seem to seep out like an organic force reclaiming space. By placing this stark, artificial structure in a natural environment, Pétillon highlights the contrast between human-made rigidity and the fluidity of nature. The balloons, ephemeral and weightless, symbolize the tension between permanence and impermanence, questioning how architecture integrates—or disrupts—its surroundings.
