The second part of a photographic work on climate breakdown, and here on the proliferation of green algae along the Côtes-d'Armor in France. It is the second title in the Civis Maritimus collection.

The result of research, of expeditions and of experiments, the works bear witness to what a changing climate does to an ecosystem. The prints, of great force and with something of science fiction about them, are dazzling in their beauty and in their lucidity: an artistic argument in dialogue with science, which touches every one of us at the heart of what we are, a part of the living.

Photographed in infrared, the green algae have taken the colour of blood, that of the first plague of Egypt with which the Nile was dressed three thousand years ago. “Through hundreds of images, Alice Pallot comes back to the very essence of the medium: making visible what the human eye alone cannot perceive.” — from the preface by Luce Lebart
