Pauline Hégaret recently moved to Brest to develop her activity around biomaterials. A graduate of architecture, politics and anthropology, she is also an artist who often draws inspiration from science in her creative processes.
I test a lot of things out, I make things and I experiment.
"In 2019, at a symposium organized by the École Polytechnique Art & Sciences Chair, I was able to chat with scientists, physicists, theorists, designers and architects of all backgrounds – and this proved a turning point for me, encouraging me to steer my work towards research and innovation to tackle the ecological and social challenges.”
Pauline Hégaret has thus devised original processes and biomaterials with innovative properties in her studio. She chose the ENSTA Bretagne incubator, on the advice of the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique cluster, for its facilities and locally-based research teams.
Lots of projects at ENSTARTUPS are geared towards decarbonization, and I wanted to join the movement too.
You can see Pauline Hégaret’s exhibition "Les nuées" at the Manoli Museum (near Saint-Malo, in north-east Brittany) until November 30.
