Project (in progress)

​

Sea levels are rising, migration will continue to intensify, a part of our world will maybe disappear.

​

During the "Art House Holland" residency (february 2020), Laurine WAGNER has the opportunity to start her Fugitive World project in Leiderdorp because the Netherlands is a favorable place which is threatened by rising sea levels with a quarter of their territory below sea level. Innovation has always been at the heart of this country, first by building coastal structures to fight against rising waters. The help given to other nations, also victims of floods or natural disasters, seems essential as well as a reflexion to save humanity.

​

Fugitive World is a research and creation project merging art and science, having the purpose in a few years, to develop a memorial restoring of anticipated memories. It’s about the people interviewed and the recording of places that are and will be brought to disappear due to the rising waters.

​

So this project will allow her to travel all around the world, establish collaborations and develop her artistic work. Art is a mean of combining science and sensitivity towards innovation, transmission of knowledge and multidisciplinary sharing.

​

Fugitive World allows to probe consciousness and therefore make as many people as possible aware of the urgency of acting both, individually and collectively.
