A subtle and poetic language characterizes the artistic production of Anouk Chambaz, which leads us to reflect on the complex relationship between the fascination for wild nature and our hidden desire to be able to tame beauty.

Stefania Rispoli, curatrice du Museo Novecento, 2022
For the time she devotes to observing, investigating and listening to the subject portrayed. The gaze of Anouk Laure Chambaz traverses stories, memories and imaginaries to render a narrative-contemplative vision that dwells on fragile and marginal elements, made up of suspensions and successive surprises. Her video works accompany the viewer in an exploration of a space in which the representation of reality leaves ample room for the oniric dimension. Chambaz invites us to decentralise our anthropocentric viewpoint, reminding us how we need to multiply our perspectives to connect with nature and its inhabitants, their stories and needs, in a correspondence of senses. The artist's work, in a balance of conceptual, poetic and political forces at the same time, shakes the gaze and consciousness through the perspective of the imaginary.
