Caroline Corbasson | Melencolia 01. May 2026 - 20. June 2026

Caroline Corbasson (born 1989, lives and works in Paris) explores humanity's place in the universe through scientific and collective conceptions. Her artistic practice reflects the ambivalence of knowledge and how discoveries transform our understanding of the world and our origins. At the heart of her work lies the tension between the scientific observation of space and the direct view of the sky from which our cosmic ideas spring. In her work, which encompasses painting, analog photography, sculpture, and film, Corbasson traces the movements of celestial bodies and seeks to connect the infinitely large with the infinitely small. Her collaborations with leading research institutions such as the CNRS, EPFL (Switzerland), CNES, the Paranal Observatory (Chile), and the Astrophysical Laboratory Marseille allow her to immerse herself in scientific environments, capture their unique atmospheres, and translate them into experimental works. These projects invite viewers to transcend an anthropocentric perspective and explore new relationships between perception, scale, space, and time.
