► Echoes of Change
Echoes of Change explores the impact of climate change on coastlines. In Mers-les-Bains, the voices of local residents bear witness to their intimate relationship with the sea, the memories of the place and the transformations experienced over time. Their stories are transformed into images, light and textures projected onto the facades, making the architecture vibrate as a living medium of their history. Between vulnerability and resilience, Echoes of Change offers a sensitive and poetic cartography of local and European climate issues.
