Groundwater Mapping in Normandy - France

Eaux-SCARS, a large-scale scientific program involving the BRGM (Bureau of Geological and Mining Research), local authorities, and in this case the SMABI (Joint Development Authority for the Iton Basin) in the Normandy region. A helicopter from Germany, piloted by a specialist in this type of mission, tows a polygon measuring around 20 meters in diameter. This giant probe can map groundwater tables to a depth of 300 meters and see the interconnections with rivers. The Danish company SkyTEM is carrying out this work, which covers several regions of France, on October 31, 2025, in Saint Andre de l'Eure, Normandy, France. Photo by Mario Fourmy/ABACAPRESS.COM

Rebels Liberate Sednaya Prison From Assad's Sadistic Grip - Syria

The door of a cell in Sednaya Prison, bearing the scars and marks of its harrowing past. More than 30,000 people were killed over decades in the ‘human slaughterhouse’ outside Damascus where the regime sought to suppress dissent by execution. Sednaya, the infamous “human slaughterhouse” outside Damascus, was where thousands of regime opponents had been locked up, tortured and killed from the earliest days of the 2011 uprising to the long brutal years of civil war. Rebels filmed as they entered Sednaya, nestled incongruously in the peaceful hills north of Damascus, alongside a monastery and the country villas of Syrian and Arab elites. Syria, December 10, 2024.

Beyond Our Bodies

Margot, Paris, France, 2017 'It’s hard to identify to its own skin when you’re born in a so called female body. Because women are mainly represented from fake and unreal prospectives in movies, books, magazines… To win the right to be represented they first have to be judged as ‘feminine’ and ‘pretty’. The definitions behind these terms being really limited, these women are expected to have all the same body, the same attitude. The body has to be young, thin, without muscles, without hair, without scars and without stories… They are not persons anymore but some beauty allegory. Disembodied. The attitude has to be smooth, soft, light, ethereal, kindly, harmless. From persons they become empty shells, while their being of flesh and blood with a unique story is being suppressed. This femininity is the negation of the person. It’s unreal and unreachable, and toxic as it is dissociative. How could one identify with this, make the link between this representation of femininity and a real body? While there is nothin
