Alexis Feix

Alexis Feix, landscape designer, gardener, musician, draws the project with a personal vision of botany and ecology. After graduating from the National School of Landscape in Versailles (ENSP), Alexis devoted himself to the construction of cartographic writing combining a reading of the transversal landscape and an artistic practice, particularly around the world of music. This is how an approach to drawing, conception and action is articulated. 

At the same time, teaching at the ENSP, he works on pedagogy as a subject for thinking about landscape through experience and thinking about the transformations of the profession of landscape architect, particularly in the relationship between landscape and politics.

Camille Fallet

Imaginary investigator photographer

Camille Fallet began by documenting the landscapes of Aveyron, where he grew up, and continues a series on Molènes, tall plants found almost everywhere in the world, dispersed by wind and cars. Like an investigator, Camille Fallet identifies potentially significant elements each time in a given environment. His research is also that of previous images, linked to a personal imagination. In this associative visual memory, the notion of cutting, in the double sense of extraction and sequence, holds an essential place. She is the link between comics, fantasy films and artist books using photography through which her gaze has been formed. He is part of the initiating team of the INVENTARY project which brings together a wide selection of photographic works carried out in the Bouches-du-Rhône metropolitan area since the 1980s. Today, it brings together nearly 60 photographers and more than 5,000 images. . This unprecedented gathering of photographic works aims to be exhibited online to present side by side series of images that reveal, as they travel through them, these territories swept by the same wind.

Elise Boutié

Anthropologist specializing in hot topics

Coming from documentary cinema, Elise Boutié is now a doctoral student in social anthropology at EHESS, under the supervision of Birgit Müller. His research, carried out primarily in California, focuses on how environmental transformations force human collectives to readjust to a landscape they believed to be in control. His master’s thesis was devoted to the study of the effects of the privatization of water in a Californian desert where the use and scarcity of this resource today raise the question of its management from the perspective of the common good. His thesis now focuses on forest fires and the disaster they can cause. Starting from a field survey carried out in northern California, in the city of Paradise, it is for her to be interested in the way in which the inhabitants of this city of 27,000 souls located in a coniferous forest and destroyed by a mega-fire on November 8, 2018, are affected and react to the loss of their familiar habitat. From environmental collectives to members of the Evangelical Church, including the most vulnerable populations, his work raises the question of environmental justice in the neoliberal US context and borrows as much from the political anthropology of the environment as ‘to the anthropology of disaster.

Benoît Guillaume

“I was born in 1976. I worked as a graphic designer, but now it’s mostly drawing. Outdoor drawing and comics, that’s my hygiene. When I’m a little too choking at home, I go out and, if I’m lucky enough to be in a big city, I fight against the crowds. The rest of the time, if I’m in the south, I do the same with the creeks. “
