Festival Escales Photos : 11ème édition

Little people of Katell Mary's foreshore. Sea hare, brittle star, littorine, helcion, door bowl… so many species that inhabit our foreshores. So many animals that take us into a micro-universe from which Katel Mary extracts fragility, grace and beauty with a poetry that amazes. Katel took her trained eye and macro lens from Hoëdic to Locmariaquer via La Trinité-sur-Mer. Thanks to it, we are able to get excited about this miniature world and watch over its protection. Church Street, The Palace. Sensitive Poles by Xavier Bosher & Louis Gain. Louis Gain comes from a unique Cotentin family, made up of scientists, artists and adventurers, the same people often combining the three disciplines. In 1908, he boarded the Pourquoi-pas? of Commander Charcot, leaving among the pioneers for the Antarctic where everything is to be explored. The journey takes two years. In addition to substantial scientific results, Louis Gain will return with impressive photographs. In 2008, the “Pôle sensible” team went back in their footsteps, with a panoramic camera, revisiting their practice as a naturalist photographer. The exhibition is a tribute to these visionary explorers. They paved the way for research in Antarctica, today a “continent of science and peace” which plays a key role in understanding our planet. Espace Nanie Clément, The Palace.
