For this second opus of the Terre & Territories residence, Julie Hascoët offers a hybrid form, between the notebook, field study and library research. It is a visual exploration, a poetic expedition in the arteries of the earth, which shows, in a non -exhaustive way, a set of underground spaces: old quarries, abandoned troglodyte habitats, cellars …
Julie Hascoët symbolically probe the scope of these constructions for what they suggest within our societies. Are these invisible worlds, which escape the eyes, are refuges or withdrawal areas in an anxiety-provoking context?
Between Loir and Loire, between Tuffeau Vendômois and Limestone de Beauce, this work is the result of a one-month residence carried out in the fall of 2021 between two structures and two departments: Zone I, in Thoré-la-Rochette, in Le Loir-et-Cher, and Valimage, in Tavers, in the Loiret.
