Image sans Frontière

From the rampant, tempestuous genesis of chaos, the wilderness and all its resources form a haven for living species and, little by little, humans make their mark, domesticating open, previously untouched spaces.

From the chaos of the angry rocks of Ethiopia or the peaceful yet blazing deserts of Africa and China, to the icy expanses of the Arctic and Antarctica, water  –  rare or abundant, but always precious – is the lifeblood of our planet’s astounding diversity.

Image Sans Frontière, an international photographers’ association, has been a partner of the La Gacilly Photo Festival from the outset. It promotes and disseminates images with the focus firmly on photographic encounters and interaction.

After examining several hundred images, a selection of 20 photo- graphs from 11 artists in Germany, France, Italy and Romania have been chosen to illustrate ’the renaissance of the living’.
