French photographer Alain Fouray is exhibiting his recycling-themed photos at Shenzhen Talent Park as part of the ongoing Franco-Chinese Month of the Environment, which includes a string of activities in more than 20 Chinese cities. Entry is free.
“Re-Cyclages” is an artistic exhibition of educational photographs which presents eight courses of recycling. Its aim is to raise awareness among the public about the act of sorting and voluntary intake in order to better recycle, value our waste and preserve the environment. Between abstraction and figuration, Fouray’s photos take another look at end-of-life for our everyday objects.

Why is it important to sort and recycle? What happens to our everyday waste? What are the right reflexes to adopt? Who are the players in recycling? All these questions will be answered along the course of the educational path proposed by this original production of Fouray, presented while roaming in Paris during the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference and other French cities.
