CIVIS MARITIMUS, literally the Citizen of the Seas, is a long-term project conceived in synergy with the photographer Ronan Guillou, who died in 2022. Sailor and European at heart, the photographer wanted to undertake his own odyssey along the Mediterranean coast. Ronan Guillou sought, as he said, to detect the discreet surreality that emanates from the ordinary. The Ronan Guillou grants created within the framework of the CIVIS MARITIMUS program extend this quest by questioning man’s relationship to the marine world from one shore of the Mediterranean to the other.
