Interview with artist Aurélie Pétrel as part of her project Hexagone 18 presented at LabElysée from May 30 to September 23, 2018.

Hexagone18 is the result of a carte blanche granted to French artist and photographer Aurélie Pétrel. As part of this project, she takes possession of the LabElysée by setting up an immersive hexagonal structure. A real laboratory, Hexagone18 is a progressive installation, in constant movement, whose content becomes denser as the months go by.

Aurélie Pétrel's research is anchored in time and works to re-establish the slowness of the image creation process. The artist proposes an artistic approach in several stages and considers her practice under the prism of the photographic score. Each source image can be replayed and redistributed according to the context of the exhibition, questioning the temporality of the appearance of the shot.
