Light Shaman
by Flore-Aël Surun
- Printed in France
Exhibition available in 2 formats for outdoor use and 1 format for indoor use.
In 2010, Flore-Aël Surun encountered shamanism.
In 2016, she joined the Circle of Wisdom of Ancestral Traditions: every year, to honor the prophecy of the Circle of Nations, shamans from around the world gather in France to bear witness to the universality of practices and the brotherhood of multiple traditions.
Agreeing to be revealed by the moving light of the photographer moving around them, these men and women, capable of dialoguing with the 10,000 Spirits, appear in all the power of their mystery.
Guaranteeing the order of the world and preserving the laws of interaction between the visible and of the invisible, shamans are among the last protectors of a planet that probably has never suffered so much in its entirety.
Through their daily practices, shamans honor and purify nature. They accompany helpless humanity in healing work and invite a global awakening before finally reclaiming our "power" and acting as responsible human beings.
The portraits are accompanied by texts advocating for the Earth.
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.

Flore-Aël Surun
Flore-Aël Surun develops a unique body of work, in which she questions our presence in the world.
She asserts her commitment as a witness alongside those who choose non-violence as a means of resistance: she accompanies young people to the places of their political demands, walks with Tibetan Buddhists, and goes from Canadian shelters housing American deserters to the New Peace Village in Israel.
