CV
Eloïse Le GalloSince 2016, Julia Borderie and Eloïse Le Gallo follow an exploratory mode to analyse water as a substance influencing territories and bodies. At the crossroads of viewpoints and disciplines, blending sculpture and cinema, they question human gestures that shape materials and landscapes. Recently, they have collaborated with scientists and their cutting-edge technologies.
