SIXTH EXTINCTION
A project about the impact of humans on nature
From the Palaeozoic era 440 million years ago to this day, our Earth has gone through five extinctions, and is now plunging, as indications show, to its sixth.This is a new epoch we have entered.It began in the dawn of the Industrial revolution.In just a handful of centuries, we altered the ecosystem more than we ever did in the previous 2.4 billion years. Like careless, carefree children we made Earth our playground without considering the impact.
We are starting to consider it now.
The Five Extinctions theory is awakening us to the fact that humans might not survive
this time around and one just has to look at the signs indicating a grim reality.

CROSSROADS & TRANSITIONS
A contemplative dance
of the metamorphosis of being.
The book Crossroads and Transition from French photographer
Michel Sedan include more than 200 images captured
around the globe in more than 4 years, from his natal Provence
to the favelas of Cape Town and the French Alps and Greece,
the photographer pauses and reflects on the notion
of time beauty and fate.
Rivers, animals, shores, passengers, the speed of life
those paused moments as a contemplative dance
of the metamorphosis of being.

A tribute to the muted gestures and innuendos of body language,
inspired by the monumental work of Charlie Chaplin
or our contemporary James Thierrée.
