Présentation

The proliferation of green algae on Brittany's coasts has become a major environmental issue. For many years now, these "Algues maudites" have been invading the coastline. Alice Pallot integrates the notion of anticipation into the photographic medium by capturing a natural phenomenon: the reality of anoxic environments, in which we could not survive as human beings, and imbuing them with a science-fiction imagination. By playing on the elements of uncertainty that accompany the anticipation of a near future, he gives the spectator the keys to reading and investing in the essential questioning of the preservation of ecosystems in the face of its exploitation and the imminent decline of biodiversity.

A text by Michel Poivert accompanies Alice Pallot's futuristic images. He takes the voice of an AI in 2056 and describes an ecoscopic fable set in the future. (Area Books)
