John Ford Point : In the valley of the Navajo Nation

In the spring of 2015, Vincent Mercier set out on a solo conquest of the American West. His destination:  Monument Valley and John Ford’s Point — the very roots of the memory of the Navajo Nation as well as the memories of every moviegoer. In this ancestral landscape of unsurpassed beauty, rocked by the wind and a Hollywood soundtrack, the photographer relived his childhood of a “greenhorn Northerner,” entranced by the raw light which would “wash over him like a liquid.”
