La Résidence(s) croisée(s), a program created in partnership with MO.CO. and supported by DRAC, welcomes Elena Salah this year. Following the residency at the FDE-UM in fall 2022 and the residency at the Florian school in spring 2022, a presentation of the work produced by the faculty's students and the Florian school's pupils will be held at the Faculty of Education in the form of an exhibition.

This exhibition brings together a collection of traces and imprints from different horizons. It is the observation and practice of a place that generates its memory. From near to far, memories of places visited in different locations come together. The landscape, through its vegetation and soil, becomes a space for experience and remembrance. Récits d'Horizons is organized as a collection of multiple testimonies.

Biography

Éléna Salah, born in 1986 in Montreuil, a suburb of Paris, lives and works in Sète. It was in Nantes, where she graduated from the Beaux-Arts, that she developed her approach, questioning sculpture through the photographic image. She enrolled at the Haute École d'Art et de Design de Genève (HEAD) in Switzerland, where she practiced ceramics. She has exhibited at L'Assaut de la Menuiserie in Saint-Étienne in conjunction with the 2017 Lyon Biennale, and in 2020 at three sites in the town of Villeneuve-lez-Avignon with the Frac Occitanie Montpellier for a solo exhibition. She is currently undertaking a residency in French Guiana (with support from the DRAC) in 2021/2022.
