By working mainly with the space-time of the living and by elaborating for the materials which she uses scenarios of the order of a "to make be" or of a "to make exist", Capucine Vandebrouck puts at the work forms distanced from the immediacy implored by our society.
The artist conceives devices which are like freeze frames, transitory incarnations of a form of temporality. The starting point of the artist's creative act lies in the observation of a material, a process, a phenomenon or a metabolism that will allow her to enter into a more intimate understanding of the world. She is interested in natural elements as materials that shape landscapes or territories, in light as a tool of revelation, and in all forms of relics capable of arousing wonder in her. The slowness is of setting in its process of creation. Capucine Vandebrouck often delegates doing to the benefit of letting things go, calling upon time and attention to things, values that are increasingly rare and disconnected from our society turned towards the moment and the near future.
