Attentive to the diversity of life forms, her practice aims to draw other ways of entering into resonance with the worlds.
Born in 1985 in the north of France, Léa Habourdin first studied printmaking at the Estienne school and then photography at the Arles school.
Attentive to the diversity of life forms, her practice aims to draw other ways of resonating with the worlds. She observes the relationship we have with other animals, with landscapes and summons the notions of survival, fracture, reconstruction to recompose another view of what we call "the wild". Exploring fields such as ethology, research in applied science or even botany, she deploys a work in drawing and photography where the place of the book and the printed object is crucial.
Her work has been awarded numerous times, including the PMU Carte Blanche - le BAL in 2015, the CIPGP research grant in 2019, and the CNAP creation aid grant in 2020. Her work has been shown at several festivals (Photo Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Lianzhou festival in China, Photo Saint Germain in Paris).
In 2018 she exhibited Survivalists at the GoEun Museum in South Korea and took advantage of the opening of the exhibition to launch her publishing house: Mille Cailloux (which she now runs with Jessica Martinato) where the act of publishing will be thought of as an artistic practice.
