Activities
Christine Laquet is a French visual artist whose practice unfolds across performance, installation, film, and painting. Her work explores relationships between living and non-living worlds, engaging animals, plants, minerals, and invisible forces as active participants in shared environments.
Her research often develops in close dialogue with scientific contexts. She has participated in oceanographic expeditions and undertaken artist residencies within research laboratories, experiences that deeply inform her approach. Through these encounters, her projects emerge from observation, material experimentation, and exchanges with scientific knowledge, while leaving space for intuition and speculation.
Rather than representing ecological crisis, Laquet seeks to activate it — creating situations in which vulnerability, transformation, and interdependence become perceptible. Her works open spaces where perception can shift, inviting viewers to slow down, sense differently, and consider alternative ways of relating to the world.
Through this practice, she aims to create forms of engagement that are both critical and sensitive, where scientific inquiry and artistic experience coexist and where new modes of attention to the living world can emerge.

Comment(s)
My profiles is very unusual, but I hope you will consider it. My research is centred around the ocean and the deep sea and I am eager to learn more about the BBNJ Agreement and be part of this training.
