Film

Researchers are trying to inject DNA from photosensitive algae to heal our retinas. From ocean blue to the computers blue screen, the vision is hybridized. Bleu Silico is a poetic-scientific meander guided through glass sculptures, recounting ancestral relationships between algae and human retinal cells.

Julia Borderie & Eloïse Le Gallo

Born in 1989, Julia Borderie & Éloïse Le Gallo have been a duo since 2016. In an exploratory mode, they approach water as a substance that influences the territories it flows through and the bodies that live in it. Taking a poetic, documentary approach, they make the experience of otherness a condition of artistic creation. The camera eye acts as a catalyst for encounters, while questioning the human gestures that shape materials and territories.
At the heart of a mesh of viewpoints and disciplines (craft techniques, geology, chemistry, marine biology, etc.) and at the crossroads of sculpture and cinema, they are interested in the origin of the materials that form a landscape. Recently, their research has led them to question more specifically the complementarities between learned form and sensitive form, working with scientists on objects generated by their cutting edge technologies.
