Gabrielle Manglou’s work is poetic and takes on many forms. Drawings, photographs, volumes and archival images all combine and play off of one another to shift boundaries in both discordant and harmonious ways.

CORE (noyau) est un duo composé des artistes Fabrice Laureau et Gabrielle Manglou. Ils se retrouvent autour de pratiques croisées, telles que le son, le collage, le pliage, la photographie ou encore l’installation. Par la juxtaposition de formes, ils questionnent les liens entre l’homme et la nature, la nécessité des rituels, l’essence de la poésie ou la circulation invisible de l’énergie cosmique.
