During the meeting Elise Alloin will focus on the dynamic of phosphor, from the Chemical industry of fertilizers to the phosphogypsum waste pile transforming the landscape in Wiślinka and the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea as a consequence. French artist will present the first step of her research, guiding us through landscape mutations.
Elise Alloin’s artistic project explores crossing points between notions of landscapes, places and radioactivity, drawing slowly the character and the outlines of the relationship we develop regarding this unperceivable force. Since its discovery, the uses our societies make of this invisible natural phenomenon induce concrete mutations in our perception of spaces and time, questioning on the relational strategies with Territory and the notions of place and memory.

Elise’s practise is a research approach, including long term collaboration with scientists and site specific interests (dismantled nuclear reactor, ANDRA research laboratory for deep ground radioactive wastes storage in France, and rehabilitated uranium mining in German Saxony (Wismut and Technical University Dresden). Her artistic forms develop through sculpture, photo, video, performances if necessary, to build up conceptual installations where the visitor becomes an integral part of it.
