synopsis
This book brings together the photographic work of Alice Pallot, focusing on an environmental and health issue.
Red Bloom, The crucial question of the collapse of our eco-system seen through the prism of a photographic eye.
The result of research, expeditions and experiments, the works presented here bear witness to the deleterious impact of climate change on our eco-systems. The prints, with their powerful aesthetic and science-fictional inspiration, are dazzling in their beauty and lucidity. It’s an artistic statement in dialogue with science, touching each and every one of us at the heart of what we are: part of the living world.
Through hundreds of images, Alice Pallot returns to the very essence of the photographic process: making visible what the human eye alone cannot perceive.
In this series, she proposes to materialise the sun’s red rays, which contribute to the development of toxic algae. Each work bears witness to an ecosystem threatened by the putrefaction of plants. The creation process takes several weeks: cultures grow on the prints and it is the toxicity itself that is embodied in the photograph and becomes the substrate for the algae.

about Alice Pallot
Alice Pallot is a French photographer currently working between Paris and Brussels. She started her photographic courses at ENSAV La Cambre in 2013. Alice Pallot graduated her Bachelor’s degree and her master’s degree at ENSAV La Cambre in Brussels in June 2018.
That same year, she took part in an exchange programme at ECAL (Lausanne, CH) and won the Roger De Conynck prize, since when she has exhibited in European institutions and galleries.
Alice Pallot is an artist photographer who uses the medium of images to question the impact of human activities on the environment. Her images are imbued with a science-fictional imagery, revealing issues that have remained invisible.
Alice Pallot conducts anticipatory surveys of the territories she investigates alongside scientists and ecologists: the photographer questions the near future by capturing the materiality of reality. By popularising the scientific data she gathers in the course of her investigations, Alice creates her own language, through the narrative of phography medium.
Through expeditions, experiments and research, she questions the links between the sciences developed by human beings and their impact on our constantly changing natural environment. In doing so, she points to questions and ambiguities that are intrinsically linked to our times. Playing with the perception and ambiguity of the different scales that scientific tools can bring, Alice Pallot creates images without retouching. The photographer creates an immersive experience of the polluted natural world, taking stock of the sickly beauty of a world damaged by the Antropocene era.
