Book launch & signing of “Les Particules, le conte humain d’une eau qui meurt” by Manon Lanjouère (The Eyes editions)

Wednesday, October 18 2023 ; 6-9 p.m.

“Les particules, le conte humain d’une eau qui meurt”: a poetic and photographic manifesto in favor of ocean preservation. Through this book, Manon Lanjouère invites us, through a poetic and artistic approach, to a profound reflection on ocean pollution. Each image, through its plastic beauty, invites contemplation, but also, through its visual force, action. A book that testifies to the power of artistic creation to transform society.

“Les particules” is the first publication in the new CIVIS MARITIMUS collection, which will feature a volume each year by a photographer offering an original take on the relationship between man and the marine world.
