Your chance to see work by a whole range of artists on the theme of the environment…

Although the environment is on everyone’s minds, and increasingly so, there hasn’t really ever been a large cultural event based on the art it inspires. With a long list of photographer contributing (over 40), there will also be a couple of exclusive installations, some video art and showings of documentaries.

Using three spaces at the Parc de Bercy (photos and installations in the Orangerie, video art and projections in the Chai, and documentaries and reports in the Maison du Lac), the exhibition also allows you to buy photos (erm, 450 euros please!) with part of the proceeds (5%) going to the WWF. Careful though; if several people want the same photo it goes to auction. May the richest best man win!
