Laura Bottereau & Marine Fiquet, winners of the Mécénat Touraine Entreprises biennial prize, have devised a project for the CCC OD galleries that builds on and draws inspiration from the complex constellations they have created in the past. Each new installation is based on thorough research, with a particular focus on the history of anatomy. 

Designed to reflect the works that came before, their new exhibition is like an additional chapter, greatly increasing its narrative and epistemological potential. Continuing their exploration of “bodies as living political archives”, and building on Paul B. Preciado’s reflections, they now propose the concept of the “catastrophic body”. 

This idea links our physical and psychological distress to atmospheric phenomena, suggesting that our bodies are fragments that can be reassembled to create new discourses and emancipatory narratives.
