Since partnering with Quai de la Photo \u2014 where its marina is located \u2014 Seine Avenue has also developed a greater interest in photography. So how could we not host a nautical-themed photography event there!? To mark the company\u2019s 15th anniversary this year, the team wanted to curate an exhibition at Quai de la Photo that would echo the boats moored there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/quaidelaphoto.fr\/evenement\/exposition-anita-conti-entre-documentaire-et-poesie\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/quaidelaphoto.fr\/evenement\/exposition-anita-conti-entre-documentaire-et-poesie\/\">Les Travers\u00e9es d\u2019Anita Conti \u2014 Between Documentary and Poetry<\/a>\u201d took place from May 5 to June 7, with the support of several partners and collaborators.

As France\u2019s first female oceanographer, she spent her entire life observing, photographing, and writing, drawing on her direct and extensive experience of the sea. Long voyages alongside sailors at work, often in difficult conditions, shaped her practice and her thinking. She conveys the power of these experiences not only in her expedition accounts but also in her recently published poems (<a type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/dessertdelune.com\/livre\/poete-oceanographe\/\" id=\"https:\/\/dessertdelune.com\/livre\/poete-oceanographe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Anita Conti, po\u00e8te, oc\u00e9anographe<\/em>, Les Carnets du Dessert de Lune, 2025<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, her photographs reveal a documentary eye that is both sharp and sensitive. With care and delicacy, she observes the men, life on board, and the horizon, offering a unique testimony to the maritime world of the 20th century. The exhibition invites visitors to discover the poetry in the work of an exceptional woman, navigating through some thirty of her photographs, juxtaposed with her poems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-uikit-gutenberg-wysiwyg\"><div id=\"\" class=\"container grid grid-cols-6 lg:grid-cols-12 py-8\"><div class=\"wysiwyg col-span-full  flex flex-col \">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-768x307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-1536x614.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SeineAvenue-exposition-AnitaConti-intro_credit-CeliaLebarbey-AnitaConti-2048x819.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Entrance to the exhibition \u00a9 C\u00e9lia Lebarbey \/ Anita Conti developing her film in the fishnet storage room of the Newfoundland trawler Vikings; photographer unknown.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-uikit-gutenberg-wysiwyg\"><div id=\"\" class=\"container grid grid-cols-6 lg:grid-cols-12 py-8\"><div class=\"wysiwyg col-span-full  flex flex-col \">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sea journeys, photographic and poetic journeys&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anita Conti\u2019s unique vision of the world stems in particular from sailing, just as others\u2019 stems from walking: a way of being in motion, ever-shifting, that creates a sensitive relationship with the world \u2014 and more specifically, with the sea. Her photographs both capture and reveal a unique way of seeing, driven by a perceptiveness that is both intense and delicate. Her poems, for their part, never completely detach themselves from concrete experience: they extend its gestures, its solitude, its daydreams, and the body\u2019s memory. Bringing together photographs and poems, the exhibition offers a fresh interpretation of the oceanographer\u2019s world, for whom observing, writing, and photographing stem from the same impulse. The horizon formed by the images traces a line \u2014 like a steady course \u2014 that allows the words to unfold, to flow, and to carry us further.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:200\"><em>J&#8217;irai sur la route enchant\u00e9e<br>Rieuse \u00e0 pleines dents,<br>ou lasse et mi-crev\u00e9e.<br> J&#8217;irai quand m\u00eame<br>Les yeux ouverts en grand,<br>le front lev\u00e9<br>Puisque jamais ne sommes gard\u00e9s<br> Que par nous-m\u00eame&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:200\"><em>J&#8217;irai, rieuse \u00e0 pleines dents<br>ou p\u00e2le et mi crev\u00e9e<br>Et puis luttant et m&#8217;\u00e9puisant,<br>et puis finie, rong\u00e9e, mang\u00e9e<br>Dissoute et emport\u00e9e<br>Balanc\u00e9e \u00e0 jamais<br>dans tes bras sans visage<br> Oc\u00e9an<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>years 1950-1960<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-uikit-gutenberg-wysiwyg\"><div id=\"\" class=\"container grid grid-cols-6 lg:grid-cols-12 py-8\"><div class=\"wysiwyg col-span-full  flex flex-col \">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-766x244.jpg 766w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-1024x326.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-1536x489.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-public@Marion-Briffod-2048x652.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors in the Quai de la Photo gallery, standing in front of photos and excerpts from poems by Anita Conti \u00a9 Marion Briffod.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-uikit-gutenberg-wysiwyg\"><div id=\"\" class=\"container grid grid-cols-6 lg:grid-cols-12 py-8\"><div class=\"wysiwyg col-span-full  flex flex-col \">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The free association of poetic fragments and images conveys a train of thought that moves forward in waves, in successive strokes, rather than through a linear progression. Nothing here is explanatory; everything rests on echoes, correspondences, and resonances. The dialogue between these two forms thus invites us to explore Anita Conti\u2019s work as one would move across the water: following lines of force, movements that are at times unpredictable, and subtle shifts. This echo of navigation \u2014 in ways of being and acting \u2014 takes on its full meaning aboard a boat dedicated to photography. The exhibition invites visitors to share Anita Conti\u2019s dynamic yet delicate approach to the aquatic world, a living environment also inhabited by humans and their livelihoods. Here, the image does not illustrate the text, any more than the poem serves as a caption for the photograph. It is in the gap between the two that something happens: a space where everyone can find their place, set sail, and dream.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-uikit-gutenberg-wysiwyg\"><div id=\"\" class=\"container grid grid-cols-6 lg:grid-cols-12 py-8\"><div class=\"wysiwyg col-span-full  flex flex-col \">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-766x244.jpg 766w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-1024x326.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-1536x489.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/seineavenue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SeineAvenue_Exposition-AnitaConti_vernissage-visiteurs@Marion-Briffod-2-2048x652.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A selection of Anita Conti\u2019s photographs taken in the 1930s and 1950s, out of the approximately 40,000 she bequeathed, along with her archives, to the city of Lorient \u00a9 Marion Briffod.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-uikit-gutenberg-wysiwyg\"><div id=\"\" class=\"container grid grid-cols-6 lg:grid-cols-12 py-8\"><div class=\"wysiwyg col-span-full  flex flex-col \">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arthur Fran\u00e7ois, co-director of operations at Seine Avenue, and Marion Briffod, photographer and independent curator, curated this exhibition, with the assistance of C\u00e9lia Lebarbey, communications manager at Seine Avenue.
