Through a sensitive exploration of place, Benoit Billotte investigates the connections between geography, botany, urbanism, and culture. A lecture on how everyday elements can reveal new ways of perceiving and understanding a territory.
On Tuesday, 29 September at 12:15 pm, imagespassages in Annecy welcomes artist Benoit Billotte for a public lecture. Territory lies at the core of his artistic practice. Through walking, observation, and field research, he gathers diverse forms of information that shape the identity of a place, including geographical, botanical, economic, urban, cultural, and vernacular elements.
Focusing on details that are often overlooked because of their ordinary nature, Billotte reveals the specific characteristics of a site through a subjective approach rather than a scientific one. By creating unexpected associations, non-linear narratives, and cross-disciplinary connections, he isolates particular features, shifts their context, and transforms their modes of representation.
This lecture offers an opportunity to discover an artistic practice that challenges conventional perceptions of place and uncovers the many stories embedded within a landscape.
