Technique

Invented by Joseph Niépce in 1826, photography is based on two types of knowledge: optics, allowing an image to be captured and delivered, and chemistry used to fix it on a surface. Its inventor died in 1833, but Louis Daguerre continued his research to discover the development of the latent image reducing exposure time. At the end of the 19th century, Eastman Kodak democratized film photography by making it possible to take many photos in less time. Photography continues to evolve with the inventions of color, film, relief photos, and digital photos, or even synthesis, etc.

Description

Charlotte Sow, surnommée l’Alsafricaine, est arrivée en Alsace en suivant par amour un ethnologue strasbourgeois, dit le « Nomade blanc», rencontré dans une oasis une nuit de pleine lune. Une rumeur prétend qu’elle serait de sang royal et aurait à ses trousses des assassins mandatés par des ennemis politiques résolus à éliminer tous les membres de sa famille. Sans argent ni papiers, elle s’est inscrite au casting des Alsaciennes à la conquête du monde pour échapper aux tueurs à ses trousses, sous une fausse identité et à grand renfort de costumes.
