Happy Place

A visual installation by French photographer Juliette Charvet at Clic Home, East Hampton

Happy Place, a new visual installation by French photographer Juliette Charvet at Clic Home in East Hampton, is an invitation to discover, or rediscover, striking landscapes and the memories they hold. For more than fifteen years, Juliette has traveled the world with her camera, moving between continents, cultures, and landscapes. Her photographs are less about documenting a destination than capturing the feeling of a place through moments of stillness, poetic light, and quiet beauty.

In the Hamptons, her camera finds poetry in places that have become part of a shared summer memory: Ditch Plains, where surfers gather at the edge of the Atlantic; Montauk, with its beach flags, lifeguard stands, and long stretches of sand; Devon Bay, where blue-green water appears suspended between sea and sky; and Georgica Beach, where a house glimpsed from the ocean becomes an image of the Hamptons dream. Her photograph Lobster Roll evokes another kind of memory, the pleasure of a simple summer meal, time spent with friends, and the familiar rituals that make a place feel like home.

What makes Juliette’s photographs so immediately recognizable is their delicate balance between the monumental and the intimate. A landscape may appear almost entirely empty, yet it never feels devoid of life. A lone surfer in the distance, a person walking along the shore, or a car parked beneath a palm tree becomes a subtle character within a much larger story.

Her creative relationship with Clic J’Adore Gallery began years ago through a conversation with founder and tastemaker Christiane Celle. That connection has continued to evolve through their shared appreciation for photography, travel, and the art of living.

Today, Juliette’s photographs are held in private collections in Manhattan, the Hamptons, California, and beyond.

On Saturday August 8, Juliette joined friends, collectors, and members of the Clic community to share the stories behind her photographs. As she spoke, each image became more than a captured moment;

Ditch Plains became a summer afternoon spent watching the surfers.

Montauk became a childhood memory, a long walk on the beach, and the familiar rhythm of the Atlantic.

A lobster roll became a table shared with friends.

This is perhaps what makes Juliette Charvet’s work so captivating, and so collectible. Through her photographs and her vibrant presence, she transforms deeply personal relationships with places into experiences that feel universal. Her images invite viewers to recognize something of their own lives within hers: a memory, a feeling, or a place that has never quite left them.

Happy Place is on view through September 7, 2026.
