Reunion island lake horses
Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean has something for everyone, including surfers, volcano hikers, and, less well well known, rainforest seekers. Away from the active volcanoes, much of the island consists of lush dense rainforest landscape, one of the most pristine such environments in the world. Top contributor Christian Cuvelier used a drone to shoot this memorable aerial video of a group exploring this marvelous island's eastern, rainforest-covered reaches on horseback

24 mai 1999 - Place de la Réunion, Paris 20 ème, FRANCE - Association Expressions Plurielles Déambull is invited by XXème en Culture Festival to organise an event during 24 hours implicating the show of some Urbanists Studies, Photographies on the thematic of Waters and Privacy, and participation of an African Women from Paris 20ème association for the sale of accra Foods. The all is under an spirit of an NO-profit-act, when the Paris XXème arrondissement Council and Fédération des Oeuvres Laïcques Assurances fournish a Legal frame to Act. Photographies are artworks by Isabelle CHARTIER (1965) -Art Decorative high-degree ex-student French Photographer- on interviews, and are exhibed around Fountain-angelus statue. Here the firsts hours of the Day, chilean Cameraman Sergio Gregorio Ivan BRAVO SALGADO (1960) -aka Sergio NAHUEL- arrives from Metro Line 9 & start to filming a Documentary -that he have not yet organised by montage & pictures are here as brut material- showing what he is supposed to discovered alike Visitors, at the primary place of Visitors eyes, with the help from her friend brazilian-reporter Fabiana De MORAES. This is not a question of tastes nor a questions on levels. The covering around angelus-statue is not a problem on moralism too, nor locally politics. Sociology on the place is Frenchy&Muslims, action is not yet started, this is Back-stage-point in a way. Sadrine ROCHERON french resident, Anne AAGARD ERIKSEN danish contemporary-art student & me, chilean Jorge Efraín BRAVO SALGADO (1971) we help Photographer I.C. (1965) & Urbanist Elsa TOUATY (1974), Psychologue Annick ROGIER (1971) &theirs friends, to install some tents before all start. The sound is not at a just level point for be cleary important, it is more alike a Constructiv-mime-action helping to see the before... What is before all Urban, or Art action, into a City, give sometimes explainations on what is after considered as very Well done, or Correctly just-point-of vue intervention. Of course is inscribed along what people have been expecting in History on this part of the city, or what have inspired artists, or Urbanists students then. We do not have operated Control on what is Collectivly expressed here. This action, that arrived before all radio-wifi-mimo-cibi waves gadgets who parasite cities, in 1999, is yet at a time when the Technology have not been introduced at a Pollution level, like it is today, whatever it is on MobilPhones or cars-claxoning-tribus over-Controling the cities, that have losted a peaceful-calm. We do not act there and then pushing the photographer or urbanists into a searching around the Geographic-symbolism on the name La-Réunion indian sea Island concerns, is more on the Present around the way of living this place -for Urbanists students- mixed with the atemporal-eternal of the Photography-formal proposition, expressing something on individuals lifes fixed at theirs privacy moments -by the Photographer-, with coordination by Sébastien GAYE (1973) graphist & Mathias GIRARD (1970) BNF library-technician, SO is individuals expressions, each ones with theirs backgrounds & differents believes. At the beginning the name was Action/PICNIC/presqu-Île-publique, a second opus recieve name as Action/PICNIC/co-incidence-parcours, taking place at the trains-railroads La Petite Ceinture Ferrées, near Rue La Mare at the same Paris 20ème, & a last but important intervention taking place as Action/Pic-Nic-Déambull/rue-Moreau in Tsé-Tsé-Designers headquarters, at Paris 12ème 3-12-2000, all at East part of French capitale, also for 24 hours. This kind of actions have been copyed, in a way we act before what is called, in Paris now, La Nuit Blanche, & called SUMMER NIGHT LIGHTS at Los Angeles, with the same principle, applicated to nights events at an scale we do not could finance in Paris 20ème in 1999 but with the same kind of tools. Invitation to artists to work with social or urban technicians for events taking place during 24 hours, generating surprise feeling or a new point of view over places. The way artists see cities mixed with the way technicians or social activists act inside is a difficult mix & it is here at a primary scale. During 2000, France-Mission de L-an 2000 have also produced a pastiche more equal to a Big-scale-Kermesse called L-Incroyable-Pique-Nique, & with clearly a GéoPolitique-axle purpose around Paris-Méridienne axle -a past competition geographic-line verse the Greenwish-London-0-degree- but under the Scientific Mission of mathematician Dénis GUEDJ & big machine Ministère de la Culture under Jean-Jacques AILLAGON this another event have NOT been connected with our little-small Association, most of all because we act at the East of this nationalistic-new-old line! Ours feelings were at a left-human-scale, when the Gad WEIL big-event was more alike 14 juillet celebrations decorativ-Kermesse-plus, as all nations could do, around some axle, axles of theirs capitals.
