Tropismes – What the Soil Holds is an exhibition by Caroline Le Méhauté, a Brussels-based artist whose practice explores the sensitive relationships between humans and living environments. ‘Tropism’, a movement directed in response to an environment, becomes here a way of questioning our own inclinations towards the soils we inhabit.
Presented as part of the Interreg GRACE project and the result of a collaboration between ULiège and the Théâtre de Liège, this exhibition examines soil quality, its memory and its capacity for regeneration, in a region marked by an industrial and mining history. It seeks to reveal what the soil preserves, absorbs and transmits, between traces of human activity and the dynamics of living organisms.
Through installations and collective protocols, the artist engages and involves the public in a sensory experience, inviting them to pay attention to the soil, the foundation of life, and to consider other ways of connecting with it.
