The Summer 2025 gallery presents a new selection of images focusing on nature, animal life, landscapes, and the environment. It features works by international photographers who approach reality with a documentary eye. Franco Banfi unveils a series on the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis), photographed in the protected waters of Golfo Nuevo, on the Valdez Peninsula in Argentina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. His images capture rare moments: the relationship between mothers and their calves, social interactions, and the spectacular leaps of young whales. Beyond their beauty, they nurture our knowledge of cetaceans and remind us of the importance of marine conservation.
Bruno Guénard, for his part, takes us on a dive into the discreet world of marine species. His lens focuses in particular on the young turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), revealing its adaptation strategies and the richness of aquatic biodiversity. His images demonstrate how photography can be a scientific tool for understanding and documenting living organisms.
Finally, Thomas Dressler turns his gaze to Namibia. His photographs explore desert landscapes: forests of quiver trees (Aloidendron dichotomum), monumental rock formations, and Kolmanskop, a mining town frozen in the sand. These scenes bear witness to both the strength of arid ecosystems and the imprints left by humans.
Together, these works offer much more than a simple exhibition: they are a valuable resource for research, scientific mediation, and reflection on our relationship with nature, whether wild or transformed.
