Publisher Note

Red Bloom is the second part of a photographic and artistic work dedicated to climate change and in particular to the proliferation of green algae in the Côtes d’Armor in France.

Through hundreds of images, Alice Pallot returns to the very essence of the photographic process: making visible what the human eye alone cannot perceive.
Thus, in this series she proposes to materialize the red radiation of the sun which contributes to the development of toxic algae. Each work bears witness to an ecosystem threatened by plant rot. The creation process takes several weeks: cultures grow on the prints and it is the toxicity itself which is embodied in the photograph and becomes the substrate for the algae.

Alice Pallot’s approach consists of alerting the public thanks to the emotional impact produced by her works. Faced with these prints of great plastic beauty, the viewer directly experiences the toxicity and the result of in-depth scientific research. Indeed, Alice Pallot conducts anticipatory surveys in territories that she invests alongside scientists and activist ecologists.
