Nicolas & Adrien: A World with Two Sons presents intimate portraits of Martine Fougeron's sons and their friends growing up in New York and France. Both tender and distanced, this visual coming-of-age narrative explores their intense adolescent present before independent adulthood. Two interconnected bodies of work form the book: Teen Tribe (2005–2010) and The Twenties (2010–2018). Made mainly at Fougeron's New York home and during summers in southern France, Teen Tribe examines adolescence as a threshold between childhood and adulthood, following inner exploration and developing character. The Twenties portrays university years, vocational and professional experiments, new friendships and lovers, holidays and family celebrations. This sensitive biography also captures the universal experience of emerging adulthood. “My sons' lives are constantly changing, and my work evolves with them. It is a coming-of-age story that also reflects their era and the culture of their particular circumstances.” — Martine Fougeron
