Archaeologists of the present – workshop with Myrtille Bouvret

Free, registration required
In this workshop, the artist Myrtille Bouvret invites you to try out an approach to observation and collection inspired by her creative process. A sensory exploration of the local area to reveal the discreet traces left by water, time and the changing landscape.
The artist Myrtille Bouvret invites participants to experience a working method at the intersection of artistic practice and field observation.
Beginning with a walk through the city, each participant is encouraged to select a site and spend time observing it attentively. Looking, touching, listening, describing and comparing become ways of investigating the landscape, paying attention to what changes, what remains and what gradually disappears. These observations are then translated into a series of imprint-making processes, including rubbings and transfers using natural pigments on paper to capture the textures of the territory and the surfaces shaped by water and time. These gestures reveal often unnoticed features and make visible what is present yet already in the process of transformation.
The collected traces are finally assembled into a collective composition, somewhere between a reconstructed landscape and a sensitive cartography.
In connection with the exhibition Holding water, a little longer and presented as part of the Fête de la science, the workshop echoes the artistic residency developed by Myrtille Bouvret with the Réseau Altitudes between January and March 2026, from which several works are presented in the exhibition. This workshop is part of L’îlot-S cultural season.
