For this exhibition, the Arche du photo-journalisme offers a theme-based reading and not a chronological order of the pictures taken by the photographer: the first photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand in a hot-air balloon in Kenya, photographs of the owners posing with their animals; portraits of French people and of course, his most famous project: Earth from Above.

With this exhibition, these pictures and movies screened on the spot, Yann Arthus-Bertrand hopes to raise awareness about protecting the environment and remind the harmful impact of men on the fauna and flora. With so many years of work under his belt, the photographer has seen Earth change noticeably.

An exhibition to remind us again and always that protecting the Earth is one of most important issues of these upcoming years!
