Vincent Gouriou's photographs explore the growing presence of LGBTQIA people in rural areas, challenging the notion that their fulfillment is limited to large cities. Vincent Gouriou shows that many LGBTQIA individuals choose to remain in or return to live in the countryside, drawn by a connection to nature and a search for ecological and sustainable lifestyles.
Despite this reality, their visibility remains limited, perpetuating stereotypes. As part of his Champs d'amour project, Vincent Gouriou travels to various rural regions: Cantal, Aveyron, Puy-de-Dôme, Allier, and Haute-Vienne between 2023 and 2024. There, he meets people involved in various projects: Philippe, a cow breeder; Anthony, a permaculture enthusiast; Isabelle and Valérie, sheep breeders; Boubou, a market gardener, and many others.
These inspiring exchanges reveal authentic journeys, like Boubou's message: she encourages LGBTQIA youth to stay close to their roots, be themselves, and find community support. For Gouriou, this human diversity, similar to that of nature, is essential to the balance of rural life.
