Nation: France
Genre: Video installation
Working and living together since 2015, Marie Ouazzani & Nicolas Carrier develop theirpractice through discussion, research and exploration of urban territories andtheir outskirts. From the context of these landscapes, they invent climatefictions, situated in an indeterminate present where past and future are mixed.Colonial history and the vestiges of globalization stand alongside theecological crisis and its impact on human, plant and architecture bodies.Vegetation cares, reveals the tensions of these environments and offers a passiveresistance to climate change.
Their videos, photographs, installations, texts andinfusions oscillate between weariness and hope. They offer a slowed down world,troubled, haunted by pollution, where living and non-living beings hybridizeand help each other to overcome diseases and disabilities. By divertingknowledge they put forward prospective hypotheses that contemplate newrelations between the various elements of our ecosystem and propose new ways ofinhabiting the planet.
