The otolith is a calcareous concretion located in the inner ear of fish. It is a marker of their personal history, recording their movements and the environmental disturbances they encounter.
Like most stars, otoliths reveal something that was, but is no longer. By oscillating a transverse axis from our star to the sea, from the macro to the micro, Delphine Wibaux hopes to translate the imprints of the sun and otoliths into plastic form.
How can we reveal this spatio-temporal memory anchored in matter? How can we understand this inscription in a broader environmental dimension?
To explore these questions in greater depth and tackle the issue of climate change, Wibaux's research relies in particular on scientific meetings.
From an ecopoetic perspective, her visual and sculptural approach, from the Mediterranean to the Scheldt, will explore this temporal inscription of life, between sky, sea and river.
