Where the Rivers Meet<\/em> is an exhibition of photographic works by Virginie Drujon-Kippelen (Atlanta) and Geoffroy Mathieu (Marseille), which explores the territory of flowing water in Atlanta and Marseille. The exhibition is accompanied by stories of how local communities have worked to rehabilitate these waterways, also demonstrating how these images reinforce local action.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginie Drujon-Kippelen<\/strong> is a French-American photographer whose work explores the poetics and politics of nature. She holds an M.A in journalism from the University of Arizona. Early in her career, she has worked as a photojournalist, freelancing for major press agencies. In 2016, she had her \u201cclimate\u201d epiphany moment after climbing Mont Blanc in the French Alps and witnessing the tragic retreat of Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. Moved by this experience, she decided to refocus her work on issues of ecology. She received a fellowship from the Blue Earth Alliance in 2021 to continue working on her latest project, Lost in Sight: In search of the Flint\u2019s Headwaters. <\/em> Her work has been featured in national and international publications. She has had several solo shows in her current home of Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geoffroy Mathieu <\/strong>is a photographer and graduate of the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure de la Photographie d’Arles. His photographic work focuses on contemporary ecological and political issues, and how they are reflected in the landscape. Following a series of different routes, he documents territories, city-nature friction, and poetic resistance in the way places are used. He has devoted several works to changing landscapes through photographic landscape observatories for the Parc Naturel R\u00e9gional des Monts d’Ard\u00e8che (exhibited in 2012 at the Rencontres d’Arles), the PNR du Verdon and the Communaut\u00e9 de communes de la Vall\u00e9e de l’H\u00e9rault (Grand Site de France). He collaborated with Baptiste Lanasp\u00e8ze on the book Marseille, ville sauvage, essai d’\u00e9cologie urbaine<\/em> (Actes Sud) [lit. Marseille, wild city, essay on urban ecology]. In 2013, as part of Marseille Provence 2013, he and Bertrand Stofleth set up Paysage Usag\u00e9s, a photographic observatory of the landscape from the metropolitan trail GR2013<\/em>, thanks to a public commission for photographs from the CNAP. This series is part of the France Territoire Liquide mission, which has been exhibited at the Tri-Postal (Lille), at the FRAC PACA (Marseille), at the Mucem (Marseille) and finally at the BNF (Paris) in the Paysages Fran\u00e7ais<\/em> exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
