A savage planet
During this workshop, we explore and map out our surroundings. We collect information in order to make models. We reinvent living.
Imagine today is the first time you land on planet Earth, and you want to live here. A mountain, a bird, a rabbit's hole, a human's home, it's all new to you. You try to learn something from it. You look around, you direct your ears, you make drawings, hither and thither you pick something up. Gradually, you start organizing, you add something. Before you realise it, you are busy building.

Mathilde is a young artist who is pretty much on her way to obtaining her diploma and aggregate at the ERG (école de recherche graphique). Her practice consists of making "sculptural paintings", using mainly chiselled elements. She is particularly interested in our relationship to life and landscape. In her works, through fragile assemblages, a layering of subtle signs appears, mixing the organic with the artificial and forming a gateway to imaginary worlds not necessarily at odds with the real.
Elias Sanhaji studied at the Ecole de Recherche Graphique in Brussels, where he is currently completing his Masters. Since childhood, he has been fascinated by huts and camps as well as large-scale urban construction projects. In recent years, through his artistic practice, he has been trying to draw attention to current ecological issues and to help us rebuild a sensitive relationship with what lives around us, with a world that sometimes seems far away from us when we live in the city.
