PhotoSaintGermain-Laure Winants, Temps profonds et autres lumières

Laure Winants

An artist-researcher based between Paris and Brussels, Laure Winants explores the interaction of ecosystems through dialogue between matter, light, and living elements. Her work combines science, photography, and sensory exploration, questioning how we perceive and record natural phenomena.

In the framework of PhotoSaintGermain, the exhibition presented at Musée de Minéralogie de l'École des Mines unveils recent pieces developed in collaboration with geologists, glaciologists, and mineralogists. Through experimental photographic techniques, the artist captures mineral reactions, the crystalline structure of ice, and traces left by geological time.

Between poetic abstraction and scientific observation, Temps profonds et autres lumières invites reflection on duration, transformation, and our relationship to the Earth's hidden archives.

This exhibition takes place within the framework of the PhotoSaintGermain festival. Organized in the heart of Paris, in the iconic Saint‐Germain‐des‐Prés neighborhood, PhotoSaintGermain is an annual festival dedicated to promoting photographic creation.

PhotoSaintGermain offers a free and freely accessible exhibition tour across a selection of museums, cultural centers, galleries, and bookstores on the Left Bank. This tour highlights a sharp and eclectic program designed by associated galleries, as well as several original exhibitions and novel projects imagined and produced by the festival.
