SOSIES DE LA TERRE

Edition of 1/100 numbered and signed copies.

For millions of years, there has been a profound connection between the plant and animal worlds. This book is a photographic testimony to the uniqueness and everlasting miracle of life on our planet. On the border between two worlds - plant and animal - this mosaic of images allows us to sharpen our gaze in order to raise our awareness of the environment and invite us to reflect. As always in photography, images can be deceptive: by combining unlikely similarities, they reveal the incredible diversity of the world. These photos of animals and plants - sometimes masters of disguise, other times adept at exhibitionism - express the ambiguity and sophistication of nature. But aesthetic emotion should not override the feeling of the precariousness of this world, which is tending to disappear because of human errors.

To perceive the ecological and systemic unity of the planet and to preserve this natural setting, the power of images is better than a long speech. This is the meaning of Alain Ernoult's work which, with delicacy and poetry, gives us the opportunity to look at nature and the mystery of creation and life with humility.
