In Aqua Sanitas

If temperatures continue to rise every single year, water will be a luxe… (for some people it already is). Everyone depends on water: from leisure, daily life, agriculture to food processing.

Water is like the air: we take it for granted, until it’s not there… Maybe, when the problem will directly knock at our door, with no electricity to turn on air conditioning due to a dry dam, will we face it? Perhaps it’s already too late… 

In a luxury store, in downtown Paris, it’s possible to buy a bottle of mineral water with hyaluronic acid for 30 EUR… This store, inside the shopping mall, is called "water cellar". 

It’s rather a question of how we use the water. And how we use the water is determined by society.”

This series of panoramic images, is a response to the luxe of water in all its states - solid, liquid or gas - and the disastrous climate change that we are all facing nowadays.

“IN AQUA SANITAS”: in water there is health, latin roman quote

  • Nature doesn't like empires. It doesn't like accumulation in one place, it doesn't like monoculture [...]

  • [...] It's always trying to make diverse species. It wants to spread everything out. And we're constantly trying to hold everything in.

    Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia Founder
