Photographic exhibition Vincent Brien

The travelling photographic exhibition Mares de Normandie aims to raise public awareness of the richness and fragility of the ponds, a structuring element of the Norman landscape. She contributes to creating a common culture around the ponds, drawing her inspiration from their stories, their uses, their heritage, landscape, and ecological interest in view of climate change. If photography appears as a tool for collecting objective data, it also proves to be an opportunity to take a poetic look at ponds and landscapes. This exhibition, through the choice of clichés, is therefore at the crossroads of sensitive and documentary approaches. It aims to encourage actors (individuals, managers of public spaces, planners, policy makers) to implement, depending on the context, actions of preservation, management, creation of ponds to restore ecological continuity, the environmental features of our territories.
