Physics
Physics is a fascinating and evocative exploration, in which Corbasson offers her sophisticated perspective on the atmosphere of the EPFL campus; revealing the mysterious and intimate aspects of the relationships that inhabit and characterize it, while making visible the power and presence of its natural surroundings. It is a story that narrates, beyond human relations, the complex perception that individuals have of their own environment â between rationality and wonder.

Caroline CorbassonÂ
Caroline Corbassonâs work explores how the observation of space and the development of astronomical tools have led to a change in perception. Connecting the infinitely large â the evolution of which goes back to an ante-cultural period â with the depth of the infinitely small, made perceptible through the tools of science, her drawings, sculptures and videos meticulously scrutinize the domain of the visible. Following a Bachelor of Fine Arts at St Martins School, London, Corbasson graduated from lâENSBA Paris with Honors in 2013.
Her work has been presented in France and internationally in many institutions such as CitĂ© Internationale des Arts, Paris (FR), Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Newcastle (UK), Songwon Art Center, Seoul (KR), MusĂ©e Des Arts et MĂ©tiers, Paris (FR), CRAC, SĂšte (FR), La PanacĂ©e MOCO, Montpellier (FR), FRAC Provence-Alpes-CĂŽte Dâazur, Marseille (FR). In 2017, she directed her first short film, set at Paranal Observatory in the Atacama Desert, Chile, with the support of the CNRS and the Laboratoire dâAstrophysique de Marseille.
In 2018 Corbasson was selected for an artist residency at the Laboratoire dâAstrophysique de Marseille. Her first monographic book, Sidereal, was published by Monteverita Publishing in 2017, and her second, Looking for you, by Visions ParticuliĂšres Press in 2019.
