<\/p>\n\u201dIN BETWEEN\u201d
\n\u201cUnderwater, there are forests that are not subject to the danger of fire.\u201d
\nAt a time when forests are burning, it becomes necessary to find an alternative capable of capturing the carbon emitted by our warming planet. A kelp forest, whether natural or cultivated, can capture as much carbon as its equivalent surface area of \u200b\u200bAmazonian\/terrestrial forest. Algae also serves to preserve marine ecosystems by absorbing excess nitrogen and preventing the proliferation of toxic algae.
\nFor this project, Sarah Braeck chose to collaborate with scientists from the Roscoff station in Brittany. She intervenes on photos of terrestrial forest fires with charred wood or flames. These images coexist with photographs of reworked algae forests which radiate and highlight the potential of these super plants and their environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cMELANCHOLY OF DUSKS\u201d
\n\u201cWhat was it like to have a child? We think about death. When you have a child, you know that you will die one day.\u201d But what happens when we lose it? \u201cMelancholy of Twilight\u201d explores the question of disappearance in a poetic and philosophical approach. In a dialogue between fear and reality, the intention develops itself as a research work on the content and the form within which eternity and the ephemeral are in tension.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMarcia opens her arms, she dances with legs as sharp as cleavers, Marcia saltaba en rondas, Marcia era bella\u2026.\u201d Who is Marcia? C\u00e9leste Leeuwenburg, a Franco-Argentinian photographer, sets out to find her. Going in search of Marcia is going in search of her dance. Born in Argentina in 1949 and dead at the age of 36 in Paris, Marcia Moretto is a dancer; This is the Marcia that most French people know without knowing her, whose name they shout on the dance floor with the Marcia Ba\u00efla of Rita Mitsouko. The traces left by Marcia remain alive in stories and memories, but there are few recordings of her image and even fewer of her dance. Faced with this absence of traces of a singular and fascinating character, C\u00e9leste Leeuwenburg has been working since 2011 in search of a dance that has never been filmed.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI am brown, I have brown eyes, I am 164 cm tall, which corresponds exactly to the average height of women in France. I wear a size 38 and wear a size 38 in clothes, in both cases it is a standard size. In France, my first name, Pauline, is used by more than 130,000 people. My last name, Rousseau, is one of the 25 most common names. Therefore, it can be said that a certain banality defines me. My anthroponym: Pauline Rousseau, for its part, could become a common noun as it is so common. For her \u201cHomonyma\u201d project, Pauline Rousseau has started a work close to investigation since 2014 by setting out to meet \u201cother Pauline Rousseaus\u201d. It is a true search for oneself through others that she carries out in this project. She unexpectedly questions the intimate, names, the identity, magic, sorority and the presentation of the self.<\/p>\n

\nThis series will present cases of disguised prostitution, which Ukrainian refugees have been victims of, since the start of the conflict with Russia. Her photographic investigation will begin in France, where these women sometimes find themselves at the mercy of those who shelter them and help them. The project will then extend to Ukrainian territory, where they are subjected to rape, used as a weapon of war. \u201cThe Embrace\u201d is a current social subject, which will provide information on the sexual violence inflicted on Ukrainian women in times of war. Ana\u00efs Oudart will be accompanied by M\u00e9decins du monde and the SEMA Foundation for the realization of this project. <\/p>\n
