Hangar Gallery unveils Sylvie Bonnot’s new series Le Royaume des moustiques, completed at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, as part of the Elles & Cité 2025 program.
In the French Guiana Amazon, the artist went to meet the allochthonous communities who have found refuge there through the upheavals of History. Bushinenge Cotticas and Hmong cosmogonies intersect here, where lianas weave the links between worlds.
Pursuing her performative approach to landscape and image, Sylvie Bonnot presents a new body of unique works created using her distinctive “moulting” process, by lifting the silver gelatin membrane from her prints.
The crystallized creases in her works echo the intertwined narratives of this equatorial territory in perpetual transformation, the scene of a visceral sharing of resources.
Through the sensitive monochrome of her photographs, each of these assembled fragments of Amazonian life forms a connection with the animal and plant kingdoms.
Born in France in 1982, Sylvie Bonnot is a visual artist and photographer. She lives and works between Burgundy and Paris. Represented by Hangar Gallery, Brussels. Member of the collective Tendance Floue.
