Exhibition: Soledad by Sébastien Roignant

Sunday 15 September 2024 - From September 16th to October 15th at cSPACE Marda Loop, explore the evocative world of Sébastien Roignant, a Breton photographer now based in Lyon. In his exhibition, Soledad, Roignant invites you to reconnect with the untamed beauty of nature, reflecting on the delicate balance between serenity and danger. Roignant's journey as a photographer began at 22, leaving behind his dream of working in 3D special effects to fully embrace his passion for photography. Over the past decade, he has captured over 150 weddings, immortalizing the most poignant, joyful, and heartfelt moments for his clients. His work extends beyond the camera; as an educator, Roignant has inspired thousands of photographers to transform their lives and live from their art. Soledad is more than a collection of photographs; it's a profound exploration of our relationship with nature. Roignant takes us on a journey to secluded landscapes, where the enchanting beauty of moss-covered forests and the raw power of cascading waterfalls remind us of nature's dual nature—both a sanctuary and a force to be reckoned with. As a long-time city dweller, Roignant questions humanity's place in today's fast-paced, noisy, and often overwhelming society. Through Soledad, he seeks to find answers, or at least his own, about our connection to the natural world. This exhibition is a must-see for those who appreciate the interplay between art and the environment and for anyone looking to rediscover their roots in a world that often feels too distant from nature. - Event Details
