The Camargo Foundation hosted artist Lara Tabet in Cassis for a residency in 2024-2025. Her project Enter Corridors explores the complexity of the port and coastal environments of La Ciotat, as well as that of the Calanques National Park, two adjacent ecosystems whose existences and ecological dynamics are deeply interdependent.
Facing the Mediterranean Sea and located at the gateway to the Calanques National Park, the Camargo Foundation is an international space for creation, research and experimentation founded by Jerome Hill in 1967. The Foundation offers a working environment in the arts and the humanities, supporting artists, scholars, and thinkers throughout the year in a spirit of freedom, creativity and collegiality. As part of its engagement with S+T+ARTS4WaterII – Ports in Transformation, a European research and innovation programme dedicated to addressing the environmental and societal challenges facing Europe's ports and port cities, the Camargo Foundation welcomed artist Lara Tabet from September 2024 to November 2025 to develop Enter Corridors. Her project explores La Ciotat's port coastal complex environment and the Calanques National Park as two adjacent ecosystems whose existence and ecologies are deeply entangled, through a multiscalar approach to space and time that pays particular attention to the correspondence between the microscopic and the macroscopic across time.
