It opens the site to the outside and the light, thus inciting us to dream of endless possibility.

After September 11, the notion of the “hero” began to rear its head in the public consciousness more and more frequently. The notion served a necessity in a time of national and global crisis to acknowledge those who showed extraordinary courage or determination in the face of danger, sometimes even sacrificing their lives in an attempt to save others.

A photographic exploration by Sandrine Elberg
« Ici, la photographie relève d’une authentique entreprise poétique. Un monde à inventer s’affirme dans un geste de création pour convoquer notre regard et notre imaginaire, au gré d’une odyssée visuelle aussi mystérieuse que merveilleuse. De l’infiniment grand à l’infiniment petit, nous voilà confrontés à une géographie inconnue, celle d’objets et de paysages (stellaires) qui s’imposent au regard par la seule force de leur présence et densité photographique. »
Jean-Bapstiste Guey, Galerie Les Bains Révélateurs.

For Eldorado, Le Colysée in Lambersart will transform into a neo-Aztec temple. True poetic manifesto, the Jungle and Sentiment exhibition is also a community project based on the exchange of knowledge and craft practices around the artist’s imagination and his vision of the Eldorado. Volunteers, students and artists gathered around a simple principle: “I take care of what I love”, releasing the almost sacred links between man and nature.

Casa Loca
27 APRIL > 28 JULY 2019
MAISON FOLIE MOULINS / FLOW, LILLE
WED > SUN : 2PM > 7PM
FREE
The Maison Folie Moulins is transformed into a genuine Casa Loca. In these places, where meetings and exchanges take place, it is the indigenous culture that is honoured. From the city of Oaxaca in Mexico to the borders of the Amazonian forest, passing through the mountains of the Sierra Madre, three collectives take, one after the other, possession of the spaces. The public can discover the rich heritage of these guests through numerous graphic creations, songs and stories, crafts or even gastronomy.
While questioning identity issues, the Tlacolulokos, artisans of the Wixarika (Huichol) people and members of the Huni Kuin tribe accompanied by Naziha Mestaoui tell and share their universe. While they are very different in their practices and aesthetics, they share a common message: the promotion of the richness of Aboriginal cultures.

The photographer’s trick lies in his colourful lights, self-sufficient lights that are always ready to be used in his truck. “All the pictures I take are not staged, they are spontaneous using the real flash effect and the people on the spot,” says the artist.
