We’ll be exploring this notion of “fragility” with artists whose approaches are all inclusive, committed and singular. These include Swiss artist Fred Boissonnas, whose 1912 “Odyssey” uses photography to (re)connect us to our heritage; Venezuelan artist Oleñka Carrasco, who shares with us, from a distance, the mourning of a loved one and a country; and photographer Anne Immelé, whose Refuge considers the destiny of the Mediterranean, crossing the routes of the Phoenicians with those of today’s migrants.

The three resident photographers aboard the schooner Tara, our guest of honor on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of their expeditions, whose vision and creations offer a unique opportunity to understand the role of the ocean in our world: Laure Winants, Samuel Bollendorff and Nicolas Floc’h help us reflect on our relationship with living things.

It’s also an escape into a new relationship with nature, to which British artist Ryan Hopkinson invites us.

Last but not least, FLOW will be hosting the results of the Ronan Guillou residencies in Sète, which are entrusted each year to photographers for projects associating human beings and the marine world. Chiara Indelicato, award winner 2024, will travel from Stromboli for her exhibition L’Archipel, the fruit of her wanderings between Agde and the Etang de Thau, and Juliette-André Elie, award winner 2025, will propose a first encounter with her work in progress Ce que les nacres tissent , around the Grande Nacre, the emblematic shellfish of the Mediterranean basin, today almost exclusively present in the Etang de Thau and the Gulf of Lion.

A look at and creations staged in important and symbolic places in Occitanie’s heritage, which also speak to the fragile strength of our natures.
