Caroline Corbasson, a 2013 graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, has won the Art et Environnement 2024 prize. Her work Portée par le vent was awarded the prize on 18 October. Her work stems from a fascination with tornadoes, a climatic phenomenon that marked her youth when she lived in Texas. Her artistic reflection focuses on the ambivalence of the destructive yet life-giving forces of tornadoes.
The artist will benefit from a residency at Lee Ufan Arles, where she will present an exhibition in summer 2025.
The jury was chaired by the artist Lee Ufan and included Laurent Le Bon, President of the Centre Pompidou, Wim Wenders, director and producer, and Djabril Boukhenaïssi, artist and first winner of the Prize. They were accompanied by three members of the Maison Guerlain, Gabrielle Saint-Genis, President and CEO, Ann Caroline Prazan, Director of Art, Culture and Heritage, and Claire Coletti, Director of Sustainable Development, as well as two representatives of Lee Ufan Arles, Esra Joo, Vice-President, and Juliette Vignon, General Coordinator.
