About us
It is true that, at first sight, everything opposes photography and science: they have neither the same object, nor the same methods and aims. While the former invokes the sensitive and the imaginary, the latter is based on reason and reality. And yet, on closer inspection, they both question the world by making the invisible visible, pushing back the frontiers of knowledge, giving us a different way of seeing.
Created at the end of 2015, the 1+2 Residence aims to bring together people who, at first sight, had no chance to talk to each other. Halfway between creation and knowledge sharing, it associates photography with science, produces, develops and promotes an author’s photography in close connection with an exceptional scientific heritage present in Toulouse, the Haute-Garonne department and the Occitanie region.
In Toulouse, artists and scientists share thoughts and resources, and create new knowledge in a sort of factory of possibilities. At a time when the boundaries between all disciplines are crumbling, bringing artists and scientists together in the same project means inviting them to join forces, to encourage new cross-disciplinary approaches, to renew creative forms in order to help us, together, to better understand and act in the face of the challenges of the contemporary world. It is also to challenge each citizen and to build with them new reflections for new practices.
