Tennessee Moonshine

In 2015, Mathieu Drouet and Agathe Vuachet follow Team Wild to Tennessee for an album recording, and go back to Tennessee in 2016. The outcome of those trips is a multi-faceted project that combines photography, video, and editing, in which Mathieu Drouet’s passion for music intertwines with his interest in the unexpected side of America. In addition to his time spent with Team Wild in the Nashville studio, he explores Tennessee, particularly Memphis and iconic roads. From these two trips, he produces three clips for Team Wild songs, a video of striking images of Tennessee, and two books corresponding to two series of pictures - one in black and white, the other in colour. While Tennessee Moonshine is deeply tied to the first album Team Wild recorded in the USA, it also stands back to unveil the Tennessee of bars and concerts, of Graceland and abandoned places, of celebrations and everyday life. Moonshine is the name given to alcohol made illegally, especially during Prohibition. The title Tennessee Moonshine pays tribute to what is invisible at first glance but accessible to those who are observant.
