Lorraine Turci
At the Eclipse of the World
For four years, I worked as crew on luxury cruise ships, as far as Antarctica. Together with others, I played out this theatrical life for the tourism industry, to the point of nausea.
I worked on my archives and produced "At the Eclipse of the World" as an act of resistance. In a finite world where humanity seeks to exploit resources to the very limits, the white paradise is a laboratory of reality, a mental space and a mirror in which humanity confronts its responsibility and the prospect of its possible extinction.
Beneath the ice lies the world’s exhaustion.
Lorraine Turci (1981, France). A graduate of the Nantes School of Fine Arts and Paris 8 University with a degree in photography, Lorraine Turci places people at the center of her work. Her visual narratives, rooted in reality and its nuances, explore societal and environmental issues. She focuses on peripheral spaces and examines fragility as well as forms of resistance and resilience. Striking a balance between critical distance and engagement, she seeks to reveal the human dimension of contemporary transformations, with a sensitive attention to others and the world.
Her work has been exhibited in particular at the Maison de la Culture du Japon in Paris and at the French National Library as laureate of the Ministry of Culture’s major commission “Radioscopie de la France”, as well as at several international festivals.
