There is a place in Mexico where, at night, by the ocean, you can see an extraordinarily beautiful phenomenon called bioluminescence.

Nîmes s’illustre has chosen to propose this wonderful ephemeral and delicate theme to the artists of Gran Salon Mexico to illustrate the Animal and the Living.

In a country where 10 women officially die of femicide every day, Gran Salon Mexico and Nîmes s'illustre have chosen to invite female artists to bring their illustrated interpretations of bioluminescence.

With the forced cessation of maritime activities relating to the global pandemic, unprecedented moments of bioluminescence have flourished on the edges of the deserted beaches of the Mexican coast... It is still one of the few countries where it is possible to observe and admire it.

Some artists have chosen to reflect the power of the existing contrasts between the deep blue-black of the oceans and the phenomenon of bioluminescence, which arises like a sprinkling of fluorescent light to form images.

Within the exhibition, Nîmes s’illustre proposed original punctuation with a contemporary art installation.
"Svalbard Petri" by Jonathan Bréchignac brings together pieces spanning science and subterfuge, which, like poetry, invites us to become aware of the need to rethink our relationship with the environment and to protect that which is delicate, vulnerable and precious in nature.
