Pauline Barzila\u00ef offers a dreamlike vision of the hidden world beneath our feet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Le Voyage \u00e0 Nantes and Semitan once again join forces to invite an artist to transform a tram into a moving canvas within the urban landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pauline Barzila\u00ef\u2019s multidisciplinary practice combines drawing, books, painting, text, printmaking, and animation. She also collaborates with numerous fanzines and festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by geological cross-sections depicting the Earth\u2019s layers \u2013 such as those created by artist and botanist Orra White Hitchcock (1796 – 1863) \u2013 Barzila\u00ef designed six scenes showing what exists both above and below ground, creating surreal terrestrial, subterranean, and celestial visions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caves, mountains, volcanoes, eclipses, seas, and geological strata of rock, sand, and soil merge into a shifting landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created in oil pastel on paper, the images have a clay-like, earthy texture. Their layered colors evoke sediment, mud, and stone, offering a dreamlike vision of the hidden world beneath our feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<\/div><\/section>\n\t

Pauline Barzila\u00ef was born in 1987 and lives and works in Marseilles.
