A visual artist, Pauline de Cabarrus holds degrees in visual arts from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and the Angoulême-Poitiers School of Fine Arts; her artistic practice explores the boundaries between the self, the other, and the living world.
For this series titled Terres, presented for the exhibition, crumpled paper becomes reliefs and sediments. Each fold evokes a buried memory, a trace of a mysterious landscape.
Between matter and memory, these fragments evoke the earth as it decomposes, transforms, and is reborn, reminding us that the earth carries both the memory and the future of our soils—and thus of all living things.
All these pieces are created with ink on crumpled paper, mounted in passe-partouts, framed, never before exhibited, produced in 2025 as part of a residency with the Montagne de Reims Regional Nature Park on the “invisible skin of the forest”: its soil.
