Stand M09/Secteur Emergence
Hangar Gallery was present at the 27th Edition of Paris Photo with the artist Alice Pallot.
Alice Pallot’s anticipatory documentary, produced in collaboration with scientists (CNRS, Résidence 1+2, Villa Perochon) since 2022, focuses on the proliferation of green algae in Brittany. This phenomenon, caused by waste from intensive agriculture and climate change, is a real environmental and health problem. As the algae decompose, they release a noxious and deadly gas called H2S.
Imbued with a science-fictional imagination, Algues Maudites combines different visual experiments to materialise this hidden problem. Using rubbish gleaned on the spot as photographic filters, Alice Pallot creates intriguing images, sensitive observations without retouching. Immersed in baths of algae, some unique prints bear the marks of this pollution.
With Algues Maudites, the artist summons up the narrative power of photography to inspire empathy and project us into a world of possibilities, enabling us to take action in favour of living beings.
