ponts
Thirteen writers, thirteen artworks. A collection of short stories inspired by James Kennedy's Bridges series, under the direction of author Chrystine Brouillet.
Inspired by the raw beauty of Kennedy's Bridges series, Chrystine Brouillet invited twelve other writers to each create a story inspired by a single artwork.
one bridge, one story
Each story opens with a black-and-white reproduction of the artwork that inspired it. The bridge remains a constant presence, both a connection and a point of departure, spanning good and evil, hope and utopia, seriousness and humour.
