I am lucky I wake up from nightmares every day. Do you? Those dreams feel so real that I have long wondered whether they are nightmares or travels through different bodies, times and spaces…
How do you imagine the world in 20 years?
I imagine it with more extremes. People more aware and people farther from consciousness. More technology but also more self-sufficiency. More agroecology and more virtual worlds. More activism, more social struggles. More radicalisms. I’m afraid to think about it and at the same time it excites me…
Collision of winter cold against geothermal heat
intermingling of rising steam, whirling snow, and clouds
traces of wild creatures hunting for food through the thicket of snow
patterns of vegetation marked by generations
to be the only witness of such unnamed beauties…
What is the plant, animal or object that most inspires you and how?
From the age of 8 until my mid-teens I used to breed moths and butterflies in a shed at the bottom of the garden. Together my father and I built the silk-screened cages that housed them and their food plants. I’d sit in a stripey deckchair and draw the insects as they rested…
How do you imagine the world in 1000 years?
In 1000 years, humanity keeps on evolving beyond what is possibly imaginable right now. Though perhaps not the majority, the more conscious, altruistic and compassionate part of humanity is leading the way for progress. We are beginning to communicate on a deeper, intuitive level, more telepathic…
Ever since I’ve been here, tending to this wreck of a place,
my anger’s become a mountain. I scale it every day.
Good for the muscles, they say. Poison for the mind. (you)
Need to lie down for a while, rest those bones. Amazing you’re still alive…
PEPA: I stopped farming a long time ago. Hurt my back.
And the fish – I leave them alone now.
SARA: You’ve given up?
PEPA: I don’t give up on nature.
Perhaps nature has given up on me. Like with you…
Well, what interests me is really about finding beauty in what we do ourselves. I find any object that we create ourselves to be more beautiful than what we buy as ready-made. And then it becomes a habit. It’s like when you have kids…
What is the plant, animal or object that most inspires you and how?
The plant, animal or object that inspires me the most is the pupa! When contemplating this metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly I am often left feeling bewildered, in the best way possible…
How do you imagine the world in 20 years?
I don’t expect it to change that fast. In twenty years, we’ll probably be spectators of more and more natural disasters. I sadly hope that it will be at least harder for anyone to deny that earth is reacting because of us…
My family comes from a mountainous region. The seaside never felt particularly appealing nor welcoming to me. But with a new family of my own, I have been coming to this region of Brittany over and over again. Taking pictures of this coast and its people…
How do you imagine the world in 20 years?
Ecologically, I sadly imagine that the ongoing natural phenomena will cause serious problems. In 20 years, I’m afraid that earthquakes and floods will destroy many more areas with their inhabitants and that forest fires…
