Fromfries with roast chicken on a Sunday to teenage trips toMcDonald’s; from a snack at the stadium to the smell of friedfood on your t-shirt; from the generous portions at roadsiderestaurants to the ones you munch on after a night out, frieshave a place everywhere, and always have. For 10 years, Guillaume Blot has travelled up and down France to capture the popular, festive and friendly ritual thatla frite always provides. True to the tenderness and curiosity he brings to capturinginstances of everyday poetry, Guillaume Blot deliversanother ode to those simple moments of shared joy, inwhich pleasure itself is collective – a sincere, almost childlikedelight that is rooted in being there, with others.
