soazic

French artist Soazic Guezennec was born in Switzerland and spends her time living between Berlin, Mumbai and Paris. She creates multimedia art pieces mixing painting, video, installation and art in-situ to explore the relationship between nature and culture. 

A nomad and traveler, she researches intense environments all over the planet, from the Amazonian forest to the Himalayan mountains, African deserts to extreme urbanized megalopolises to question the relationship between human beings and their environment. These territories are transformed into immersive pieces which invite the viewer to recognize their habitat, feel it and reconsider their role. Guezennec thus encourages the spectator to go beyond the mere representation and become a spectactor.


Soazic Guezennec studied art at the Ateliers des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris and has shown her work internationally, in galleries and museums, including The Chelsea Art Museum in New York, The Museum of la Condition Publique in France, The Poznan Biennale in Poland, Diva Art Fair in New York, the BMW Foundation in Berlin or the Drawing Now Fair in Paris.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
