About
Étienne Pageault is an artist and performer based in Saint-Étienne and Paris. Working at the intersection of visual art and mineral sciences, he explores the social and political implications of how we perceive natural resources and the environment. His work is exhibited in both art galleries and scientific institutions, where he advocates joint action between the arts and sciences to create new, liberating narratives for post-industrial landscapes.
