My name is Bruno. I am a mammalian, bipedal human. My body is 60% water, or about 420,000 drops. The first period of my life was aquatic, having bathed 9 months in amniotic fluid. I now live on solid ground, breathing air with a humidity level that is ideally between 40 and 60%, on a planet composed of 70% water. To live, I need to drink the equivalent of 10,500 drops per day of unpolluted water. I think that water belongs to all living beings, that it cannot be privatized and that it should be forbidden to lock it up in bottles that are only used to sell plastic. Plastic not so fantastic in the end since this toxic waste ends up…in the water. I photograph the drops for their essential elegance. Whatever the case, it is the necessary availability of drinking water, for all.

Exposition

 

The photographs of «Whatever the drop» are composed of 2 elements essential to life, water and the sun. The drops presented are the fruits of the morning rain or dew and are simply adorned with the bursts of the brightest of our stars. “You will be the tear, the rain, the puddle, the pond, the lake, the water table, you will be the stream, the river, you will be the sea, the ocean, you will be the gout, you will be the blood, I will be the heart.”
