Coast Molding Project
In 2023, La Rochelle Université celebrated its 30th anniversary. For this occasion, a piece of art gathering coastal elements (plants, rocks, shells, etc.) from EU-CONEXUS Alliance was created according to the following recipe.
The work (creation of molds and plasters out of them) was initiated during EU-CONEXUS Festival (28-29-30 March 2023) with visual artist Chloé Petitjean and EU-CONEXUS Community.
This creation called « la surface libre de l’eau » assembles 29 coastal prints coming from 6 EU-CONEXUS coastal zones (France, Spain, Lithuania, Croatia, Germany, Cyprus). The prints are arranged to recall the evolution of the oxygen level in ocean water as a function of the rise in water temperature.
The creation symbolizes the belonging of La Rochelle Université to EU-CONEXUS Alliance and how all partner universities are strongly bonded in addressing the challenges faced by urban and semi-urbanised coastal regions.
