MILESTONE

From a link with the territory anchored in family roots, we continue in the footsteps of Amélie Chatellard in a much larger space, on the scale of our damaged planet, bloodless by dint of looting and mistreatment... But it is above all a question here of drawing ways to reverse the course of things, even in the world of fashion which still lives at the rate of fast fashion, but where alternatives are asserting themselves. With MILESTONE, Amélie Chatellard affirms her militancy. By subtly creating a dialogue between images of current climatic disasters borrowed from collective references in the matter, figures which testify to these ravages and to what the unbridled consumption of clothing induces, and its own fashion images, a disruption takes place. . In her images, we travel with a moving gaze between natural contexts, liberated postures... and clothes by young designers who have sustainability as their credo. A narrative that initially gives pride of place to the mineral - to remind us that the desert is spreading - then winds between our piles of waste, before leading us into the luxuriance of aquatic profusions where promising futures seem to throb. We remain seized by this fluid poetics where the porosity between humans, the elements and the whole of the plant world is evident... we also measure all the singularity of the cry that is addressed to us in a sensitive and scathing way. -Léonore Veya
