Présentation
"In the spring, Tipasa is inhabited by the gods and the gods speak in the sun and the smell of absinthes, the silver sea, the ecru blue sky, the ruins covered with flowers and the light with large broths in the heaps of stones. At certain hours, the countryside is black with sunshine".
Wedding at Tipasa, (Albert Camus).
Marseilles. At the gates of the city, the wild flirts with the intimate, invites to weave sensory wefts with the coastline. Bodies unfold in contact with natural elements. During four cycles, the sea, animals and men dialogue in a living and enchanted microcosm, unstable and vulnerable.
The living world has always nourished the human imagination. In the Mediterranean, bestiaries and mythologies summoned all the creatures of the sea into a fantastic world. For this project, I sought the traces and figures of these tales in a very real geographical space, on the borders of the Marseille metropolis, the Calanques massif. The tourist vocation of this National Park, which welcomes two million visitors a year, conditions the representations of the territory. "Noces" is the hope of a possible imaginary place. Today, how does the wild resonate in us?
