In an area of 120 m² fully arranged like a museum, stroll among a hundred cameras, housings, or video cameras, unique pieces that trace the history of underwater imagery from Louis Boutan (1892) to the present day.
– Adélie Land & Sea : photographers Laurent Ballesta and Vincent Munier will present around fifty pictures retracing their exceptional expedition in Antarctica to discover the natural treasures of Adélie Land.
– Face-to-face: one-on-one; in pairs; in groups, meeting marine animals with Pascal Kobeh. « Sometimes, underwater, I am seized by a sense of urgency. Nothing to do with lack of air but rather the feeling that what I admire at this moment is fleeting. […] Showcasing attitudes that can illustrate their individuality is getting a little more acquainted with this world, their world. » Pascal KobehConferences and screenings
