Julie Hascoët develops her projects in close connection to the territories she explores. From Brittany to Mexico and the roads of Europe, her work often features the same recurring figures: faltering lights, landscapes under heavy skies, damp rocks, breezeblocks and concrete, things left lying around, walls in construction or never completed, lying bodies and distant gazes. Her images, which conjure up the ruins of today’s world, carry within them a tension between the past and the future, between the fragile and the brutal. Her artistic research stands at the intersection of documentary narration and of a symbolic approach, and hinges on questions relating to territory and its occupation, as well as architecture, cartography and nomadism. Her practice of photography branches out into the fields of installation, writing and self-publication.
