cURRICULUM

Laetitia Bourget' plastic work is
centred on the notion of activity.
This has led her to different
forms of artistic production:
video, photography, editing,
installation, conferences,
sculpture, painting...
These activities are mainly
developed around corporal and
existential issues (physical integrity, the materiality and
the frailty of the body, otherness,
being alive, facing our own
mortality...) but also inspired
by particular social contexts (setting up an exhibition,
corporal societies, urban
contexts, public places...).
