Mirrors brings together in the same picture depths and surface, light and darkness, through a landscape whose scale ratio combines and becomes a game between the close and the distant.

Taken by shooting through the eponymous guiding tool used by fishermen from the Kerkennah Islands (Tunisia), the image enters into vibration and leads the viewer to explore the depths by shifting its perception of the visible.

"The photographic work “Miroirs” by Camille Pradon examines the intricate relationship between light and water, employing experimental techniques to reveal the dynamic interplay of reflection and absorption, inviting viewers to contemplate both the visible and hidden narratives beneath the surface.

Rooted in the Mediterranean context —particularly between Greece, France and Tunisia— Pradon draws inspiration from the region’s rich ecological diversity and cultural complexity, focusing on traditional practices like sponge diving to highlight the interconnections between human bodies, marine ecosystems and celestial bodies. The use of ‘gyali’, a traditional tool for tracing sponges, serves as a catalyst to reflect on Euro-Mediterranean context, the history, the language, the movement of populations, human and non-human."
