Raphael Neal — New waves
Festival ImageSingulières
Centre photographique documentaire – ImageSingulières, 17 Rue Lacan, 34200 Sète
From May 26 to August 14, 2022
Tuesday to Sunday, 2pm – 7pm
“Heat waves, floods, tornadoes, advancing of deserts… The disasters that populate our imagination and make us shiver with pleasure in science fiction scenarios are increasingly intruding into our reality. This series “New waves” is born out of this sense of confusion about how is treated the climate change issues and the various fears it raises. Many of us still find it hard to believe certain alarmist discourses that fail to really change our habits and priorities.
My artistic work has always been an opportunity to explore another place, apart, the one of fiction, with all that it implies of doubts, imperfections and contradictions. In an era where art is used to educate, I like the idea of an independent and cluttered space where pleasures and fears are expressed without judgments or hierarchy.”
– Raphaël Neal
While the festival is exhibiting his New Waves series, Raphaël Neal will be present during the inaugural weekend to present this work on the upheavals and contradictions linked to climate change.
