Cultural revolutions always precede social changes. The ecology which wishes to be better heard thus solicited the artistic world so that it makes its fight visible by privileging the sensitive, the aesthetic and the symbolic. This itinerary invites us to perceive contemporary issues in a different way and to free ourselves from preconceived ideas. The works gathered along this heterogeneous itinerary confront us with our schizophrenic behaviors and underline our contradictions, between the desire for a peaceful cohabitation with nature and our obstinacy to mistreat it. Yet nature satisfies our basic needs as well as our aspirations. It feeds us and makes us live, in the broadest sense.
If today the world seems to have become aware of the erosion of biodiversity, the accelerated extinction of species due to human activities, it remains to understand the stakes of this ecological disaster, in the short and long term, for humanity. May this exhibition fulfill this ambitious mission and fully play its role of alert by revealing to its visitors the value of biodiversity.
