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 ephemeral scenes, revealing micro-landscapes steeped in the sea air, natural creations of the living world.
Inspired by natural regulatory phenomena (including "pink noise," a frequency present in many biological systems,
), the artist designs installations in which organic forms and sound devices interact. The exhibition highlights the fragile balance of living environments and invites visitors to take a sensitive and scientific approach to the landscape.
Students fromTU creativeTU and the SCRIBES association will produce texts during a writing workshop in the presence of the photographer on March 19.
These will be exhibited 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 caring approach to the living world since 2018.
Her series "Le lien de la terre" (The Earth's Connection), dedicated to farming practices committed to food self-sufficiency, received the ISEM Young Photographer Award in 2021. It
will be completed in 2023 as part of the mentorship program of Agence VU' and the Régnier Fund
for creation, with an exhibition at Galerie VU'. In 2024, it will be presented at the

That same year, Cloé joined the Tremplin Jeunes Talents residency at the Festival
Planches Contact in Deauville, where she won the Tremplin Jeunes Talents Prize with
her series "Bruit Rose," a sensory exploration of the fragile biodiversity of the Norman estrans.
In 2025, she continued her residency at the Maison de la Photographie des Landes in
with "Des gestes et des rêves" (Gestures and Dreams), dedicated to young people in apprenticeships,
then at the InCadaqués Festival, where she created "In Memoriam Terrae," a series on the memory-
