Natural

« Natural » is a project that began in 2023 at the Domaine d’Abbadia, a protected natural reserve managed by the Conservatoire du littoral, near Hendaye and San Sebastián airport.

Made possible thanks to the support of the coastal rangers, « Natural » unfolds the layers of reality and questions our definition of the "nature."

Through various analog photography techniques, the artist deconstructs our representations of the landscape and reveals the physical processes that shape our vision. The images become gateways to explore the hidden connections of living beings, between humans and nature, as well as the relationships between the interior preserved territory and the exterior of the reserve.

(This project comes from "Proximité-s", artist residency with writer Aliona Gloukhova, part of the Mondes Nouveaux program in partnership with the Conservatoire du littoral.)
