MARINE LANIER
Born in Valence in 1981, photographer Marine LanierBorn into a family of horticulturists and sailors, she focuses on questions of life, clan structure, bonding and the call of adventure. Marine Lanier will take us on a journey at the crossroads of her two latest series, Hannibal’s garden and The shipwreck suit. The first takes place in the Jardin du Lautaret, perched at 2100 m, Europe’s highest altitude garden and a unique conservatory for the diversity of Alpine flora. The second takes the form of a maritime tale of groves and oceanic bestiaries, tortured sailors, silent nights, monstrous waves and mysterious depths.

ROMAIN LAURENDEAU
Romain Laurendeau, a photographer based in Toulouse, will take us inside his project. The long sandy road inspired by the journey of writer Pier Paolo Pasolini who, in the summer of 1959, made a complete tour of Italian beaches as a special envoy for a major magazine, Successo. Following in Pasolini’s footsteps and in the tradition of photographic wandering, Romain Laurendeau traveled along the French coastline to take an intimate, sensitive look at the French people and their travel and tourism habits in these times of crisis and change.

VINCENT MARCILHACY
Co-founder of the Civis Maritimus program, Vincent Marcilhacy invites us on a journey through a series of striking analogies between the words we commonly use in our everyday, land-based lives, and our coexistence with the sea and its environments. Common good, resilience, burn outThe words “burn out”, “shelter”, “quarantine”, “reserve”… ordinary words that make up a salutary ABC of the Sea.

LAURENT MARION
Folk-alternative artist Laurent Marion invites us to plunge into the world of his song From the shore. Between the emotion of the sound, the power of the text and the inner experience, Laurent Marion shares with us the whole journey of a project that literally takes you on board. The meeting, the love, the choices, the doubts and the glances, the wind, the light of the sea, the swell and the return to the shore, a plural voyage in images and sounds.
