Lise DuclauxLes Errantes Naturelles

Lise Duclaux’s work is structured by an investigation into the forms and processes of nature and ecosystems, similar to the methods of biology or cartography. Refuting any systematization of thought, the artist explores the complexity of the living through different disciplines, including drawing, writing, performance and installation. At WIELS, she creates a work in situ: her handwritten text on the windows traces the story of the wild plants that grow in the immediate vicinity. Duclaux reveals their origins and their clandestine journeys. In parallel, her drawings and silkscreens delve into the underground networks and territories of moles, thus extending the discipline of subterranean cartography, in the parts of the world that remain invisible.
