The Regression project presented in Hong Kong continues The Shiwiars Project, initiated a decade ago by Valéry Grancher’s decision to live in Amazonia for a month immersed with the Shiwiar tribe. After his expedition, Valéry Grancher created a series of watercolour paintings using drops of dew he had collected in the Amazon rainforest. They are presented for the first time to the public in the Regression exhibition, which plays ironically with a multitude of clichés.
