Céline Clanet is the renowned photographer for the 2024 edition of our “Photography & Sciences” creative residency program in Toulouse.

Céline Clanet (born 1977), a graduate of the ENSP in Arles, focuses on remote or hidden places, wild landscapes, and their inhabitants. Since 2005, she has worked on European Arctic regions (“Máze,” Photolucida 2010, “Kola,” Loco 2018).

With a keen eye on the ecological impact of human actions and areas on the verge of transformation, she photographs places where friction occurs between the collapse of landmarks and the continuation of age-old values. She also explores the complex relationships we maintain with the animal world.

In 2023, her book Ground Noise (Actes Sud) was published, a work on the visible and invisible worlds of the forest, exhibited at the Rencontres d’Arles the same year. As the recipient of the “Grande commande photographique” from the BnF, she created Les Ilots Farouches, focusing on the most protected natural spaces in France left to evolve freely.

Her work, published and exhibited in Europe and abroad, is part of the collections of the BnF, CNAP, Neuflize OBC Collection, Société Française de Photographie, the Departmental Archives of Savoie, the Portland Art Museum (USA), and has been the subject of seven monographs.

Gaëlle Delort is a photographic artist born in 1988 in Aurillac.
She graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles in 2022 and participated in the exhibition “Une attention particulière” at the Rencontres d’Arles the same year.
In 2023, her work Karst was presented at the Photosa photographic biennale in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). She was the winner of the Jeune Photographie Occitanie prize from the Centre photographique documentaire ImageSingulières in Sète (France), and received individual creation support from the DRAC Occitanie.
Her practice unfolds over a long time, rooted in exploration. Through the collection of clues that shape the depth of a place and its landscapes, she focuses on capturing resonances between human and geological temporalities, playing with the world’s depth and the surface of images.
