The Thresholds of Menorca: Photographs and texts from a Mediterranean territory

“On these shores, time settles like salt.”The Thresholds of Menorca gathers a sequence of photographs and brief texts, composed in Menorca in April 2026. From Cales Coves near Cala en Porter, where the limestone plunges into turquoise waters, passing through the Talayotic stones of Torre d’en Galmés and the narrow lanes of Ciutadella, the book follows four threads: stone, plant life, the human trace, and thresholds. A three-thousand-year-old marès enclosure, a sundial engraved with a biblical reference, an iron ring sealed into stone, a fishmonger leaning over her stall — each image is paired with a few lines that do not describe but respond.Not a guide, not a travelogue. A silent crossing of a Mediterranean territory.Photographer-author based in Geneva, Benoît Bruchez combines studio portraiture and the publishing of photographic books. The Thresholds of Menorca continues the exploration begun in What Time Leaves Behind (2026), dedicated to Geneva’s Old Town — two meditations on time settled in stone.23 photographsFirst edition, 2026 Read more
