Sébastien Arrighi has been invited by Carré d’Art – Musée d’art contemporain to take over the Mur Foster. A photographic display composed of both previously unseen and earlier images, drawn from several territories, questions the presence of water — or its absence. Documentary-style images enter into dialogue with others that are more intimate and poetic.

The artist brings into resonance several series produced in geographically distant territories, making water a key to understanding the relationship between humans and their environment. From landscapes around the Mediterranean basin (Lebanon, Spain, Greece, France) to the transformations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the tensions within a Pacific archipelago, each image examines how an environment shapes bodies, postures, and narratives.
