Laure Winants

Laure Winants is an artist-researcher living in Paris and Brussels. Laure collaborates with transdisciplinary research groups, in particular with CNRS/CNES on atmospheric pollution in the Pyrenees via the Albedo 2021 project, the volcanology laboratory in Iceland on the monitoring of natural and anthropogenic phenomena such as volcanic activities with Phenomena 2022, or the Polar Institute with the Time Capsule 2023-2024 project. Her research highlights the great interdependence of living organisms with each other and with their environment, and the importance of giving voice to non-human entities. She works on sensitive materials and creates active works that react to their environment; light, time, temperature, humidity. During polar missions, Laure works directly in the elements and joins the scientific expedition. There are numerous experiments: capturing the composition of light, capturing the acoustic inflections of icebergs, printing the chemical composition of water. Laure has exhibited her work internationally in Berlin, Reykjavik, Brussels, Paris and soon in Stockholm, Luxembourg and Osaka. Her work has entered the collection of several foundations such as the Fondation des Arts du Luxembourg and the Palais de Liège.
