Product Description

Red Bloom is the second part of a photographic and artistic project devoted to global warmingand, in particular, the proliferation of green algae in the Côtes d''Armor region of France.Through hundreds of images, Alice Pallot returns to the very essence of the photographic process:making visible what the human eye alone cannot perceive. In this series, she proposes to materialisethe sun''s red rays, which contribute to the development of toxic algae. Each work bears witness toan ecosystem threatened by the putrefaction of plants. The creation process takes several weeks:cultures grow on the prints and it is the toxicity itself that is embodied in the photograph andbecomes the substrate for the algae.The artist''s aim, through works of great plastic beauty, is to alert the viewer to the non-visible butnonetheless active and deleterious anthropogenic toxicity of our environment. Through the visualexperience, the viewer gains a deeper understanding of this major issue of our time.
