Cécile Beau uses nature as her focal point, which she then turns into a subject of contemplation and research. She is interested in phenomena that are too slow, too distant or too discreet for the human time scale.

She combines plants and minerals with illusionist machinery in her sound, light, minimal and sensory installations. The result encapsulates physical phenomena in the shape of austere and enigmatic landscapes. , creating what could be labelled as «slow science fiction». And it is this very discrepancy – this realistic universe enhanced with a layer of fiction – that infuses her work with all its poetry.

The artist shifts time and space, offering intermediate territories, always strange inbetweens, stripped of all human presence.
