March 20, 2026 – Opening of Chloé Harent’s exhibition “Bruit Rose”
Cloé Harent shares her intimate experience with the sea, offering a photographic ode to the fragile biodiversity of the Normandy foreshore. Through her series *Bruit Rose*, she captures the power of the tides and their influence on the landscape, where each retreat of the waves gives way to fleeting scenes, revealing salty micro-landscapes—natural creations of the living world.
Inspired by natural regulatory phenomena (including “pink noise,” a frequency-
e found in many biological systems), the artist creates installations in which organic forms and sound installations interact. The exhibition highlights the fragile balance of living environments and invites viewers to explore the landscape through both sensory and scientific lenses.
Students fromTU CreativeTU and the SCRIBES association will produce
texts during a writing workshop attended by the photographer on March 19.
These will be on display in Building 36 for the duration of the exhibition.
A free workshop will be offered to staff and the general public during the Boutographies festival
on Saturday, May 23, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The workshop is limited to 12
people.
Cloé Harent, a French photographer born in 1998, has been developing a sensitive and compassionate approach to the living world through her photography since 2018.

food self-sufficiency, won the 2021 ISEM Young Photographer Award. It

for creative projects, culminating in an exhibition at Galerie VU’. In 2024, it was presented at the
Le Champ des Impossibles Festival, screened at Boutographies, and published in the
EPIC magazine.
That same year, Cloé joined the Tremplin Jeunes Talents residency program at the "
" festival in Deauville, where she won the Tremplin Jeunes Talents Award with her series "Bruit Rose" (
), a sensory exploration of the fragile biodiversity of the Normandy coastal dune systems.
In 2025, she continued her residency at the Maison de la Photographie des
Landes with “Des gestes et des rêves” (Gestures and Dreams), a project dedicated to young apprentices,
, and then at the InCadaqués Festival, where she created “In Memoriam Terrae,” a series exploring the memory of the rock formations in the Cap de Creus Natural Park in Spain.
