After a noteworthy first presentation at Paris Photo in November 2025, Hangar Gallery is proud to unveil Sylvie Bonnot's new series - Le Royaume des moustiques  in Brussels.

In the French Guiana Amazon, the artist went to meet the allochthonous communities who have found refuge there through the upheavals of history. Bushinenge and Hmong cosmogonies intersect here, where lianas weave the links between worlds.


Pursuing her performative approach to landscape and image, Sylvie Bonnot presents a new body of unique works created using her distinctive “moulting” process, by lifting the silver gelatin membrane from her prints. The crystallized creases in her works echo the intertwined narratives of this equatorial territory in perpetual transformation, the scene of a visceral sharing of resources.
