PASTUREAU Lucie

Luminescences

France

2018Artiste Jury

This series is a research work that was almost a shot in the dark. Lucie Pastureau elaborated a poetic cartography on the notion of adolescence. Although we have entered a very specific place – a medical reception centre for adolescents– the point here is not to discuss medical care or illness issues, but to deal with the matters of physical development and particularly the passing of time in this enclosed space. Adolescence, this luminescent and exceptional moment when the scope of possibilities opens up. Series elaborated in 2017 within the Adolescent Care Unit at the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital in Lille, France, in collaboration with ARS and DRAC Hauts-de-France
