Alice Pallot transforms scientific data into a visual language, turning ecological crisis into an aesthetic confrontation. In her project Algues Maudites (Cursed Algae), she presents the toxic green algae invasion spreading along the Brittany coast through a three-part photographic narrative. The Paris-based artist, known for blurring the boundaries between art and science, reveals how these algal blooms—driven by nitrate runoff from industrial farming and exacerbated by climate change—choke ecosystems and threaten public health.

Pallot’s photographs go beyond documentation. Using algae, plastic debris, and elements of pollution as visual filters, she expands the medium’s boundaries. The stagnant, sickly shores, surreal green hues, and ghostly landscapes appear not as visions of a dystopian future, but as portraits of the present. As Pallot puts it: “These algae are only a symptom; the real illness is our unbalanced relationship with nature.” Without aestheticizing, yet through a poetic language, the exhibition conveys the urgency of ecological crisis—serving both as a warning and a testimony, while questioning our role in the degradation of the landscape.
