The "Sauvages, comme le loup" exhibition by photographers Claire Galloni d'Istria and Tristan de Soye features some of their photos, which were shortlisted for the SNSF's 2024 Scientific Image Award, finalists for the Rampp Foundation's 2024 Art & Nature Award, and form the iconography of Claire's book "Qui a peur du Grand méchant loup?" (Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?), to be published by Peter Lang, based on her doctoral research, which was awarded the highest distinction and the Young Alpine Researcher Award. 

At once a sign of cultural involution and proof of "nature's" reparation through its rewilding, the wolf embodies an amalgam of a multitude of co-existing, sometimes contradictory, representations in action, shared by all. A symbol of the savage in Europe, this animal offers us an individual and collective space within which we can question our own savagery. The photographs invite us to question and explore what the wild represents for us, and what its role is today.

Exhibition until June 29, 2024
