Gift of the artist

Nathalie Talec

Born in 1960, she lives and works in Paris.

Attracted by the poles and lulled by the ancient and modern tales of explorers such as Paul-Emile Victor, Nathalie Talec has been creating since the 1980s a poetically frozen scientific-fictional universe. In search of original purity and fascinated by the action of the cold, she experiments with questions of perception, studies the action of chemical or atmospheric phenomena on the elements and lets narratives unfold through her drawings, photographs, sculptures, installations, videos, performances and sound works.
