The Château d’Eau presents Richard Pak’s series “ The Firm” (2016 – 2017), the first part of the “Les îles du désir” (Islands of Desire) cycle devoted to the insular world.
By combining photography, video, storytelling and historical documents, Richard Pak recounts the story of the community of Tristan da Cunha – a small volcanic island in the middle of the South Atlantic, the most isolated inhabited territory in the world – and questions the legacy of the idealistic values that founded this community 200 years ago.
