Focus on Spiaggia tropicale, a 2004 work by Italian artist Piero Gilardi. Made from expanded polyurethane, this piece recreates a tropical beach with artificial realism, oscillating between synthetic nature and playful décor. A leading figure of Arte Povera, Gilardi here explores the relationship between artifice and nature, anticipating an ecological and social reflection on our relationship to the environment. Presentation in French Sign Language (LSF) by cultural mediator Sabrina Carlioz, Association S5.

The MAMCO videos in French Sign Language (LSF) are broadcast by TV5Monde and presented as part of a 15-episode mini-documentary series, available on the channel via this link.
