Brigitte Bourger, from France, has lived in French Polynesia for over 40 years. A trained pharmacist, she turned to photography, capturing the beauty of Tahiti and other aquatic environments. His project Ephemeral impressions highlights the fragility of marine life through minimalist images. This work was rewarded with prestigious awards in Paris and Tokyo.

Works exhibited
Antipode
I am attracted to the landscapes when they cease to be immediately recognizable. When the scale disappears, when a place becomes a color, matter, line or movement, something else appears.
The landscape is no longer just a place: it becomes a sensation.
With Antipodes, I wanted to bring closer to the territories that everything seems to be opposing: the ice of Greenland and Iceland, the waters of Tahiti, the arid expanses and the shores of Australia. Yet, looking at them differently, I find forms, materials, movements and atmospheres that respond.
The diptych allows me to create these rapprochements. Two images that do not come from the same place may suddenly seem to belong to the same space at the same time. The geographical distance is effaced to give way to a visual and sensitive proximity.
