The digital revolution has dematerialized exchanges, work and human relationships, pushing individuals to take refuge in a virtual universe more attractive than the real world. Deserted by their inhabitants, weakened by climate crises, shortages and declining birth rates, the cities seem frozen in time. For **Mirages**, Antoine Roth worked with a digital camera equipped with a telephoto lens. He explores the shores of Lake Geneva, his territory of origin and visual research. His gaze reaches far, towards the horizon, where light, water and air merge. Through the capture of rare atmospheric and optical phenomena — notably mirages — he questions the perception and materiality of the landscape.
