Badu Island, An expedition travelogue, photographs
True to the spirit of the historic expeditions of his great-great-grandfather Prince Albert I, H.S.H. Prince Albert II has relaunched the Explorations de Monaco. It is in this context that he visited Badu, one of the islands of the Torres Strait, in the state of Queensland (northern Australia). While there, H.S.H. Prince Albert II immersed himself in the culture of the islanders, who advocate a balanced and respectful relationship between man and nature. Accompanied in particular by Robert Calcagno, Director General of the Oceanographic Institute, he drew great inspiration from this culture. The exhibition presented here is the memory of this: it also evokes the memory of a first meeting on Monegasque soil..

The Secrets of "The Big Kitty", photographs
Introduced by Tom Alberts & Lisa Barmby
It took Tom and Lisa almost 12 years to make the film "The Big Kitty". A black and white film, a parodic and jubilant homage to the American film noirs of the forties, from "The Big Sleep" to "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca". To do this, they had to recreate everything from costumes to sets, including newspapers, wine bottles and road signs. It is a part of this gigantic meticulous and precise work that you will discover through this photographic exhibition.
