INTERTIDAL 

​

This series explores the embodied relationship between humans and nature within the intertidal zone of Sillon Beach (St Malo), where Europe's largest tidal range, governed by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull, creates a cycle that shapes both landscape and human activity.

​

The project employs a dual approach: documentary photographs capture human activity on the foreshore, where bodies bend, balance on wet rocks and search for shellfish, moving according to ancestral patterns that reveal our connection to cosmic rhythms. These images are accompanied by testimonies from visitors about their sensory and emotional connection to this place. Experimental chemigrams and photograms invite natural elements, sand, seaweed, seawater, as co-creators. These materials interact directly with photographic emulsion, generating their own "self-portraits" and inverting anthropocentric perspective.

​​

The work examines how we physically inhabit tidal spaces, how our bodies adapt to natural rhythms, and invites meditation on our entanglement with nature. Saint-Malo faces rising seas from the climate crisis we've created. The same tidal forces that reveal our cosmic connection remind us how fragile this balance is.

​

The series will be exhibited at Photoforum in Switzerland (December 2025 - February 2026) as part of the Photoforum Prix, and at Festival Impulse in Arles (March - June 2026).
