facing the Waves

In Nice, seafarers pose in front of Bruno Bébert's work, Waves, warning, Mediterranean Sea in Danger!

In April 2022, Bruno Bébert staged and interviewed people from Nice who are linked to the sea and who have witnessed pollution in the Mediterranean, using the photos in his "Bruno Bébert 10 Vagues / 2011 - 2021" exhibition on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
These photos and videos will be made available to associations working to protect the environment.
An additional tool, offered to highlight the daily degradation suffered by nature.
