The Legendary Wind of Provence

Join photographer Rachel Cobb as she presents her latest book, Mistral: The Legendary Wind of Provence (Artbooks), a portrait of Provence seen through its legendary wind, with excerpts from writings by Paul Auster, Lawrence Durrell, Jean Giono and Frédéric Mistral.

Cobb spent years chasing the Mistral, which is the name of an incessant and capricious wind that inhabits the Provence region of France. In so doing, she challenged herself to photograph the invisible. As she became sensitive to the wind’s rhythms and effects, Cobb realized the Mistral was not just a weather phenomenon; it was an integral part of the fabric of Provençal life. It was everywhere, yet always unseen.
