L’autre monde

As Susan Sontag pointed out in her essay “Sur la Photographie” in 1977, photography is inherently nostalgic: it transforms the present into the past. Through her series “L’autre Monde” (The Other World), Elodie Poirier explores the possibility of an organic world existing beyond reality: a fragile and ever-changing universe, belonging to the abysses of time. Through her images, the artist addresses our relationship with the passing of time, the fluctuating identity, and a shared destiny: the aging of the physical shell and the death of the soul.
