Hélène Labadie explores the boundaries between sculpture, cinema and pop culture through narrative installations. Inspired by the imagery of the Hollywood Golden Age, she fantasizes celebrities, places of worship and iconic stories by creating scenes in clay and paper collage.

During the “Land and Sea” residency, she wishes to deepen her approach by integrating elements related to the maritime universe, reinterpreted through the notion of cinema “set”. By combining clay sculptures and collages, she plans to create sketches that summon fictional characters and atmospheres, while playing on the encounter of temporalities and contexts.

This approach, based on collage and combination, allows him to break the limits of his imagination by placing his works in settings where reality and fiction dialogue, inviting the viewer on a sensory and cinematographic journey.
