Capucine Vandebrouck, winner of the 8th edition of the Talents Contemporains contest with her work Puddle 3, unveils a personal exhibition titled Un regard sur l’impermanence, where water and matter meet  (A Look at Impermanence ). 

For the past few years, Capucine Vandebrouck has been working with natural materials that are inherently moving and ephemeral. This inconsistency feeds her creative process, making impermanence the common thread linking her works. Through her artistic practice, she invites the spectator to question temporality and contemplate transitional moments, unveiling the hidden beauty of our daily lives. Thus, temporality lies at the core of her work, as she seeks to capture these fleeting moments. Capucine Vandebrouck shines a light on her artistic production while adding a new series of creations. 

Her series, Puddles, depicts several puddles of water drawn on the ground using a hydrophobic system. Some of these are disrupted by the fall of a water droplet. Other works are shaped using photograms: water, illuminated, captures fleeting moments and leaves its mark on photosensitive paper. The artist captures the fluid movements of water and the waves on its surface to depict passing states and brief flows. Worthy of a camera obscura, a crystal lens is positioned at a distance from the wall to create a focus and project an inverted image of the room. This lens reveals the dialogue between light, water, and perception, highlighting the richness of the invisible obvious that our senses tend to neglect. 

This is a poetic and sensory exhibition where impermanence becomes a source of inspiration and wonder
