Sauvés des eaux! Réaménagement d’un territoire immergé (2024- )
With Sauvés des eaux ! Réaménagement d’un territoire immergé, Daniel Corbeil recounts how, in the near future, a small island community—which has appropriated a disused industrial building—must adapt to the rapid rise in sea levels caused by global warming. The highlights of this story take the form of three installations which, with the illusionistic logic typical of dioramas, depict three crucial stages in the community’s destiny. The photographic narrative currently being developed includes some forty images that tighten the plot suggested by the installations. Arranged in sequences to offer a narrative reading of the whole, these photographs reveal singular moments of the efforts to counter the inexorable advance of the waters.
La fin des icebergs (2022- )
This project brings together various languages (installation, photography, drawing) in order to develop a graphic narrative, entitled La fin des icebergs, which uses models to stage the clash of viewpoints on an environment that has been irremediably disrupted by climate change. The story is about how an environmental action group is trying to free one of the last icebergs from the dome where it is kept for scientific purposes, in order to underline the futility of climate engineering designed to limit the consequences of global warming.
