The gallery is delighted to present contrasting visions on climate change—a theme close to its heart. By 2060, this crisis will reshape our lives. Basile Pelletier and Mats Carduner share their perspectives on the world as it is and will be.

Basile Pelletier was born in 2002 into an overheating world, at 373 ppm. For him, the question is not “if,” but “how.” Between fatalism, nostalgia for a world he barely knew, and the sense of a confiscated life, he offers an anticipatory view of his daily existence, seeking beauty within the dystopia that has already begun.

Mats Carduner was born in 1968, at 323 ppm. A child of consumer society, he once believed progress and well-being had no limits—until realizing humanity had breached planetary boundaries. Between denial, shattered hopes, and surges of grief for a changing world, he continues to capture the world’s beauty through his lens; yet behind the utopia of a preserved Eden lurks the insidious imprint of the Anthropocene.

The two artists present a vision torn between necessary adaptation and the desire to believe we still control our destiny, preserving the perfection of our world.
