Charlotte Charbonnel is an artist interested in the energy contained in matter. She probes our environment to bring out its natural forces and make us feel its flows. Listening to the world, she has explored and transmitted the acoustic vibration of the places where she has been invited to exhibit. Her work stems from an empirical research with multiple entries. Her multidisciplinary practice is linked to space and is informed by “sciences”, collaborations and investigations in different fields and disciplines.
