From October 3 to 9, 2021
Throughout the world, droughts, heat waves and floods are more and more frequent and longer. Sources of drinking water are becoming increasingly scarce, arable land more limited and livestock farming more constrained. Life, in all its forms, is increasingly under threat.
To remedy the media’s invisibility of these climatic phenomena, which are as deadly as spectacular natural disasters, Action Against Hunger invited four photographers to document these chronic threats in four different regions of the world.
Whether in Chad, Panama, Afghanistan or Kenya, the photographers focus their author’s eye on the profound connection between people and their environment. Their photographs reveal, beyond the figures and studies, the human reality on the ground: individuals, families, social groups whose daily life and food security are durably but silently disrupted by climate change.
While a first extract of this large-scale project is exhibited from 18 September to 17 October on the square of the Hôtel de Ville de Paris as part of the PhotoClimat biennial, VU’ and Action contre la Faim invite the public to discover the project as a whole and in the exceptional conditions of the Nuit Blanche 2021. A projection on a giant screen accompanies the exhibition of a selection of previously unpublished photographs, presented at Galerie VU’ until October 9.
