Presqu'île, 2024/ongoing


This is a project I am working on with Jean Arnaud, artist and professor emeritus at the University of Aix-Marseille. We are working together in thi project and we founded a collective, TOMBOLO: its name is taken from the strip of sand that, depending on the tide, connects or separates small peninsulas from the mainland. In particular, we focused on the one at Cap Taillat, near St. Tropez. The work I am showing is based on the concept of “intravision”, borrowed from the philosopher Vladimir Jankélévitch. 'Intravoyance' becomes a movement that makes the gaze vulnerable, sometimes uncertain, but open to new possibilities; it emerges from contact with events and places: it takes power away from vision and gives it to perception, to the body and to the agency of the elements of the landscape.
