Philippe Echaroux photographer

His monumental portrait triptych represents men and women of the Paiter-Surui tribe in the Amazonia. A tribe of 1400 members, therefore the chief, Almir Narayamoga Surui fights the deforestation of its territory by using the weapons of Western modernity. Trained at the university, the chief has among other things set up a partnership with Google Earth which makes it possible to better monitor illegal deforestation. Supported by the Swiss association Acquaverde, it is also leading a long-term project which aims to replant a million trees.
Camera in hand, Philippe Echaroux therefore set off to meet this tribe in 2016. From this meeting was born the Amazonia project from which these three portraits are taken. A way for the artist to highlight their struggle and alert the public to the ecological emergency we are facing.
Projecting these faces onto forests is a monumental way to illustrate the following point: “when you cut down a tree, it's as if you were cutting down a man. "

Son triptyque de portrait monumentaux représente des hommes et des femmes de la tribu Paiter-Surui en Amazonie. Une tribu de 1400 membres, donc le chef, Almir Narayamoga  Surui combat la déforestation de son territoire en utilisant les armes de la modernité occidentale. Formé à l'université, le chef a entre autres mis en place un partenariat avec Google Earth qui permet de mieux surveiller les déboisement illégaux. Soutenu par l'association suisse Acquaverde, il mène aussi un projet à long terme qui vise à replanter un million d'arbres.
Appareil photo en main, Philippe Echaroux est donc parti à la rencontre de cette tribu en 2016. De cette rencontre naîtra le projet Amazonia dont ces trois portraits sont issus. Une façon pour l'artiste de mettre en lumière leur combat et d'alerter l’opinion sur l'urgence écologique à laquelle nous faisons face.
Projeter ces visages sur des forêts, c'est une manière monumentale pour illustrer le propos suivant : « quand tu abats un arbre, c'est comme si tu abattais un homme. »
