Appartenance brings together photographs taken across three distinct territories: Botswana, Raja Ampat and Rio de Janeiro. Through communities, traditions and moments of everyday life, Théo explores the different ways in which people connect to a place, a culture and one another.

Moving between the ancestral relationship to land of the San people in Botswana, the close connection between community and nature in Raja Ampat, and the spontaneous rhythms of life in the streets and beaches of Rio, the series reveals contrasting ways of inhabiting the world. Despite the geographical and cultural distance between them, the same gestures of belonging emerge: gathering, sharing, transmitting and simply living together.

Working predominantly with film, Théo approaches these places as an observer, drawn to unplanned moments, human gestures and the subtle details that reveal our relationship with our surroundings. His photographs do not seek to compare these worlds, but rather to bring them into dialogue.

Appartenance is an invitation to travel between distant realities and to consider what connects us to the places we inhabit and the people around us. Across different landscapes, cultures and ways of life, the exhibition reflects on a feeling that remains profoundly universal: the need to belong.
