Joséphine Javier
Artiste en résidence
AXENÉO7 is pleased to welcome artist Joséphine Javier (Nantes, France) for a research and creation residency taking place during the summer 2025 programming season. This residency is presented as part of an international exchange program developed through a partnership between the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and Le Lieu Unique (Nantes, France).
Joséphine Javier’s artistic practice poetically engages with questions of landscape representation and territorial planning.
By bringing narratives and concepts into confrontation, she explores a shifting interplay of perspectives. Her approach to landscape—through geography, geology, or the study of specific industrial sites—allows her to navigate between multiple worlds, at the crossroads of places that are traversed, felt, imagined, or misunderstood. Her gaze lingers on how certain vernacular architectural forms reinforce or disrupt our collective imagination.
Her graphic work, in particular, enables her to devise vividly stylized scenarios, often rooted in photographic research undertaken during field expeditions. The theme of cartography, understood as a relational process grounded in direct engagement with territory, underpins her practice.
