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
Antipode brings together four diptych photographs from the four corners of the world, from polar regions to the warmest land.
In each diptych, a photograph taken in a cold landscape faces a photograph taken in a warm landscape. It is not a question of opposing them, but of seeing what can bring them closer together. The similarities appear where they are not expected.
Blue is present everywhere, it is the thread that creates continuity in the series. The landmarks, they're fading. We no longer know where we are, or what distance between the two landscapes.
It is in this loss of landmarks that the two worlds meet.
