The CAC – la synagogue de Delme invites you to the open studio of Ella C Bernard on Wednesday December 10th 2025 at 6:30pm at 10b rue des cigognes, Lindre-Basse.

Ella C Bernard is an artist who practises sculpture, moving images and textual forms. Her installations tie or tape together, assemble and twist objects that are collected or recycled, to which ceramic, metal or concrete elements are sometimes added. Rather than a simple aesthetic of recuperation, her work expresses a desire to reappropriate spaces. Usually relegated to the invisible, industrial offcuts and consumer products that have been abandoned, rejected or designed to become obsolete reveal some of the hidden or marginalised systems that nevertheless actively contribute to the organisation of networks (electrical, waterworks or telecommunications) that underpin our contemporary society.

For the residency at Lindre-Basse, straps, ropes and tyres are the elements that are put back into circulation. The installations experiment with the materials’ powers of resistance, through torsion and stretching, but also a certain form of fragility in their installation. (read the full text)
