Cultural events are the perfect opportunity to exhibit,
to share in real time, over time, one or more shots.
They confront their author with the feelings of the public who have come,
offering him/her the opportunity to present the adopted approach,
to reveal a little of this creative process seat of the thought.
For its fifth edition, Promenade des Arts takes up residence in the shade of the plane trees lining the allées Charles de Gaulle in Revel (Haute-Garonne, Occitanie).
This new exhibition invites the public to immerse themselves in the soul of the Lauragais, this vast plain to the east of Toulouse alternately swept by the Cers (westerly wind) and the Autan (from the Mediterranean). To this end, it has brought together some fifty photographs featuring « picturesque bastides, witness to medieval history, bountiful farmlands and hills, proudly dominated by windmills », as well as numerous centuries-old pigeon lofts. « This photographic journey is an ode to the nature, culture and heritage of a region with discreet but undeniable charms. »
Several local photographers contributed to this exhibition. Two photographs from the Culture Diff' company are featured: one entitled « Laurac in Lauragais », the other « Cardinal points » (see below). Both reflect the Lauragais region's wonderful light, whatever the season.
This exhibition called Regards de Photographes gathered the works of 12 local photographers on a theme not imposed - free. It is yearly organized by the city hall of Revel at the GET cultural center.
For its fifth participation, the Culture Diff' company chose to tackle the environmental issue. In order to minimize the carbon footprint associated with the photographic activity, each of the exhibited shots was taken not far from the town of Revel, on the shores of Lake Saint Ferréol. In addition, various techniques borrowed from abstract photography were used during the shooting, in order to depict environmental realities or the risks that human activities pose to the biosphere. Finally, the printing of each photography was carried out as part of an eco-responsible process. More infos ...

After orbiting the Earth (1961) and then landing on the Moon (1969), mankind set out to explore our Sun and then the planets of our Solar System with probes and robot explorers.
This exhibition, entitled « From the Moon to the Sun », featured archive images from the Apollo missions (1961 - 1972), as well as the most recent pictures of our Sun acquired by NASA's Parker Solar Probe and ESA's Solar Orbiter probes. Exceptionally, the model of NASA's Perseverance rover, designed by CNES and on loan from IRAP (Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie in Toulouse), was presented to the public in Revel.
For the duration of the exhibition, these photographs of the Moon and the Sun, the Perseverance rover model as well, mingled with metal sculptures designed by artist Cha Môkeur.

For its fourth participation, the Culture Diff' company had chosen to exhibit, not photographs, but several screenshots of our Earth. These screenshots were the result of digital simulations carried out using the unique Sky/Earth 5D interface. They offered a glimpse of a sunset from La Reunion Island, Earth orbit, interplanetary space, Moon orbit and the farthest reaches of our Solar System. They had been grouped together under the heading « At the same moment, on Earth and in the Universe... ». More info ...
This exhibition, featuring some fifty images taken from the ground and from space, has invited local residents and tourists alike to discover our Universe, the objects that fill it (planets, moons, stars, black holes, quasars, galaxies, etc.), and the tools of space exploration (rockets, orbital stations, interplanetary probes, rovers). To this end, these fifty images have been distributed along the spiral arms of a fictitious galaxy, each dedicated to a given theme: the Sky from Earth, the star cycle, planetary exploration, the Universe on a grand scale, the tools of space exploration.
On June 13, July 17 and August 14, 2024, interested visitors were invited to take a walk through the spiral arms of this galaxy - in other words, a guided tour of this exhibition entitled « Journey into the Universe », conceived and created in partnership with the City Hall of Revel and on display until the end of October on the allées Charles de Gaulle in Revel. Audio podcasts have also been created in collaboration with the communications department of the City Hall of Revel. Available on YouTube, they accompanied any solo promenade.

Introductory text from the Revel City Hall: « What could be more majestic than the nourishing Tree, provider of protective shades and architect who releases the oxygen necessary for breathing? What could be more precious than the water that saw the birth of humanity and that we consume daily for our survival? Stroll around, turn around these photos, pay aesthetic attention to these two elements and they will tell you a story ... This symbiosis has been magnified thanks to the talents of artists from the Occitania region whose names appear on the back of each of the photographs on display. »

Title: What are the limits of science?
Summary: During this evening, a variety of scientific topics were addressed, based on some thirty photographs acquired in the Occitanie region, southern France: the creation of the world, the content of our Universe, the internal structure of our Earth, the transition from the inert to the living, the evolution of life on Earth, the constitution of archaeological databases and our perception of the afterlife. Each of these fields of research comes up against a limit - cultural, experimental, statistical, even ethical - that scientists, past and present, are constantly pushing back in order to extend our field of knowledge - our understanding, that is, of mankind and the natural world around us.
