Tireless traveler, Maurice Renoma travels the world accompanied by his goldfish, Cristobal. This amazing travel companion has the particularity of being made of plastic, and it leaves no one indifferent:
is he a petroleum residue from the plastic industry, the short-term result of intensive fishing, or an artificial friend in our individualistic society?
A witness without words but not mute, Cristobal denounces the omnipresence of plastic, a real scourge for fauna and flora, and yet has become indispensable.
to the “modern” man.
Maurice Renoma lets Cristobal swim, who will guide the spectators, like a (pea-sound) red thread, through a photographic and multimedia exhibition, immersive and made from recycled materials, to be discovered in atypical places, faithful to the dreamlike and offbeat universe of the photographer-designer.
In the Renoma boutique, Cristobal is represented through a series of humorous, sensual, tender and striking photographs.
At Le Souplex, he swims through spectacular and immersive, comical and poetic stagings, pointing out ecological but also societal issues: addiction, sickly distraction and mutation of common sense.
Finally, at the Appart, Cristobal becomes bourgeois: full-length portraits or classic still lifes — vanities, reflections of our image, reflection on our Life, our relationships, our consumption, our food…
