Echoing the fragile future of our environment, the exhibition Au bout du plongeoir, le grand bain have in mind to appreciate the contemporary horizon from three artistic points of view. The large phosphorescent wall tapestries by Laurence Aëgerter conjure up the uncertain balance of things by transforming simple bathing snap shots lost in the background of the Web into a monument to the pleasure of the moment. Douglas Mandry’s lithographs on a used glacier cover bear the stigmata of our dreams caught up by their excesses. And in the evidence of the perpetual inconstancy of the sea, Anaïs Boudot’s photographs on glass of waves and the eroded stones become fragments of hypnotic prose.
Between redeeming exaltation and critical apprehension, the works approach the theme of water, this fundamental element of life, through the prism of the photographic medium, like the meeting of nature and technology in the anthropocene era.
