Galerie Triangle is set up for another year at 65* quai de la Roquette for an exhibition on the theme of climate change.
Seven artists, including a duo, are highlighted during the CHANGE exhibition. Six different stories, observations and perspectives, from the four corners of the world, on events linked to climate change.
Conceived as a joint work, this exhibition attempts to put poetry into an alarming observation.
A mixture of photographs, collages and installations, it is constructed in the style of a documentary diary.
Artists featured:
Theo Giacometti
Phosphore Collective (Sarah Witt & Matthieu Fares)
Dana Tentea
Nicolas Serve
Maxime Riché
Tobias Canales
“The sun beats down, it knocks on our door, it sits us down, makes us sick, dries us up, hide and CHANGE. At our borders it creates deserts, on our holidays it destroys everything. The elements panic, rage, warn, punish, pour out their undeniable power, making us very small, and very small we are. They will survive us, but you… CHANGE
I’m suffocating. Your supreme beauty is no longer enough to convince us, our little habits, our big rants, our inaudible tears, our permitted anxieties. Are you enough for us then? EXCHANGE
And if this hope suddenly returns to us and gain momentum, let us leave before us a somewhat viable destiny. Different, obligatory, like a broken vase whose flaws become its destined beauty, like a common desire to rebuild everything, to eradicate the monsters that ruins the whole. We have proven a few times that we are capable of it, will we be able to do so again? Then you CHANGE.”
Tobias Canales went to the deserted villages of Spain. An entirely black and white series . We feel the heat, the drought and the stifling summers. In these villages where time seems to have stopped, forever.
The Phosphore collective tells us how the Mediterranean islands obtain their drinking water, an ecological aberration under the influence of economic pressure. A poetic series that highlights the richness of this rare commodity.
Maxime Riché produced a series on the town of Paradise in California, ravaged by flames in 2018, that killed 86 people in less than 4 hours. The photographer visited the site in 2020 and 2021 to meet those who are rebuilding their “paradise” in a now deeply inhospitable place.
Théo Giacometti asks “For whom will the sirens sing? ” with the rising waters in the Camargue, swallowing up memories, jobs, houses, roads and a forgotten future.
Nicolas Serve enters into a documentary intimacy, thanks to long-term work on tornadoes, photographs exhibited exclusively in Arles, drawing the parallel between meteorological and internal disasters destroying everything in their paths.
Dana Tentea tells us about the story of these women in Morocco who grow roses to support their financial and cultural independence, while drought sets in more and more often.
The photographic book “For whom will the sirens sing? ” by Théo Giacometti will be presented from July 2nd to 7th, as well as the future book “Paradise” by Maxime Riché which will be available for pre-order from July 2nd to 14th, 2024.
The photographic film “For Whom Will the Sirens Sing?” ” produced by the Galerie Triangle will be presented during the Night of the Year on Saturday July 6th in Arles.
