L’Espace Croisé is delighted to present Émotions Terranaissantes, a solo exhibition by Elise Guillaume that coincides with the Art and Industry Triennial in Dunkirk. Through photographic and audiovisual works produced between the North Sea and the Arctic, Elise Guillaume traces links between psychological states and environmental change. Borrowing the title of the exhibition from the concept of philosopher Glenn Albrecht, the artist invites us to fully experience the emotions sparked by the ecological reality. Émotions Terranaissantes looks at the transformative power of these states – from grief to hope – and their ability to actively make us rethink our relationships with living beings.

Research and development in the Arctic were facilitated by The Arctic Circle – Artists & Scientists Residency and supported by public funding from Arts Council England. With the support of Sustainable Art, a contribution has been made to the Urban Forest project, which will fund the planting of a Miyawaki forest at a school in Grez-Doiceau, Belgium.
