CORÈNE CAUBEL
Artist and Landscape architect
Born in 1989 in Papeete, Tahiti, lives in Normandy in France.
She graduated from the National School of Landscape of Versailles in 2013.
Her practice is developed from places, maps, meetings with residents, craftsman, marches, and following immersion time. Fascinated by water, geology, natural phenomena she is also interested in the appropriation by people of places, habits and customs, know-how, those who shape landscapes, local resources, ingenuity of self-construction, with the multiple facets of landscapes and environmental issues, that she likes to reveal and question.
Her works between drawing, installation, landscape architecture, offer geographic, temporal, geological shifts, inviting us to step back from the lived, observed, crossed environment.
From 2017, she studies rustic fishing built architecture, as if to keep the memory of these fragile architectures with drawing/collage series “ Improvised Docks” in north of France, or “The cabins of fishermen”, hand built on a sandbank in Hualien (Taiwan).
In 2019, Corène Caubel was awarded a public commission for a public permanent installation in Thouars, in the lands of France, and titled “Souvenir of a Beach, mythology of a possible coastline”. Using three architectural archetypes—a lighthouse, beach cabins, and a fishery—she evokes a story of a maritime past, where 200 million years ago existed an ocean named Téthys, now disappeared.
During the 2021-2022 years, she was doing an artist collective residency, with edition, art video, paper collages, in Normandie, France, about the silting up of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel and the evolution of fishing.
In 2022 she won a public order for the artistic direction and installations creation of the development project in the Drome valley with the landscape agency Atelier L, for the enhancement trail of the claps site, where a rockslide took place in the 15th century.
