Self – shadows

🗓  Thursday, October 2 2025 @ 6 PM
📍 Alliance Française du Cap – 155 Loop Street, Cape Town

Step into a world where light, presence, and time meet in quiet conversation. Self-shadows, a photographic exhibition by Olivier Baudry, captures the intimate and fleeting dialogue between body and environment  through the shadows we cast.

Shot across various landscapes, these images invite us to pause and consider the often-unnoticed traces we leave behind. Shadows become reflections of the self, touching stone, grass, water and disappearing just as quickly. In their impermanence lies a certain truth: we exist, briefly, vividly, and always in relation to place.
