The digital revolution has dematerialised exchanges, work and human relations, pushing individuals to take refuge in a virtual universe more appealing than the real world. Deserted by their inhabitants, weakened by climate crises, shortages and declining birth rates, 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 turns to the distance, 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.
