Ambre Charpagne is sensitive to our times, which are marked by turmoil and the loss of many of our points of reference, and is interested in the affects disrupted today by a number of factors that she seeks to identify and understand. These strong sensations are marked in particular by the feeling of a fall, of a loss of common sense and of the known world, which the Australian philosopher Glenn Albretch calls solastalgia, a form of suffering and psychic or existential distress linked in particular to climate disruption and the state of our relationships with the living and non-living world. Her artistic creations develop a sound world made up of recordings of objects and entities taken from her daily life, which she combines with computer-assisted musical ritornellos. Her installations are conceived using digital devices such as 3D animation and video, as well as sculptures that accompany her performances, in which voice and piano are used as creative and narrative potential.
