| Title: 'Algues Maudites, a Sea of Tears' |
| By (author): Alice Pallot |
| ISBN10-13: 2493509080 : 9782493509086 |
| The proliferation of green algae on the coasts of Brittany has become a major environmental issue. For many years now these algues maudites have invaded the coastline. Alice Pallot integrates in the project Algues Maudites, a Sea of Tears 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 by imbuing them with a science-fictional imagination. By playing on the elements of uncertainty that accompany the anticipation of a near future, it gives the viewer the keys to reading to invest in the essential questioning of the preservation of ecosystems in the face of its exploitation and the imminent decline of biodiversity. The project is part of Alice Pallotâ s research exploring both the fragility and the resilience of the natural world. An unsuspected life-form becomes the principal subject of an ecosystem in the shadows. |

| Title: HEAT |
| By (author): Caroline Corbasson, Andrea Montano |
| ISBN10-13: 2493509056 : 9782493509055 |
| Long stored in a cabinet these 50â s-90â s archive images document the work of astrophysicists over many years at the Marseille Astrophysics Laboratory. Some of these shots were remarkable breakthroughs for the time. Mementos of both human and scientific adventures, they are the tangible traces of the historical capabilities of these research centers which designed and produced instruments to observe the universe. These black and white images have gradually lost their function and purpose. They may have been abandoned, but they have still escaped the dreadful outcome of so many unusable documents, they were gifted to the artist Caroline Corbasson who, alongside the photographer Andrea Montano, explored the poetry within. The book and its images will be accompanied by a text by the french historian and curator Luce Lebart: â With or without legends, these images of stellar fields torn from their context of production and use resemble as much a photogram of dust clusters as a magnification of the photolytic structure of the silver grains constituting the image. The fascinating beauty of these photographs oscillates in vertigo between the immensely large and the immensely small, between the star and the task, between the dust and the star. And the boundaries are porous between a scientific image and an abstract image offered to aesthetic delight. These osmosis between scientific and artistic images recall the malleability of photographs. They have this immense facility to one day be in the field of science, another in the field of archive and then art to be considered again as documents and finally all at once.â |
