Laetitia de Coninck is a transdisciplinary artist who reflects on the living world by way of a contextual and relational approach. Since 2020, she has been particularly interested in the intimate relationships between the body, plants and soil as “ fields of life ” in an artistic practice comprising performative actions, performance readings, installations and hybrid environments. Her work is grounded in an ethics of a “care for others” and the ecological humanities. The attentive quality that underpins her works and fieldwork calls for the full engagement of the artist's body, to make it available, to occupy space, to "become-with" the other, i.e. a lived body that develops “further when is put in a common, sharing, and participative” mode (Marder, 2020); an extended body with all possible ramifications, hybridizations and inventions.

A member of La Traversée - a geopoetics workshop with which she has been collaborating for several years via photography and writing, Laetitia is currently the coordinator for the Groupe de recherche interdisciplinaire pour le végétal et l'environnement (GRIVE/UQAM). The holder of an MFA in visual and media arts (UQAM), Laetitia is a recipient of the Reconnecter avec le végétal (ReVe) 2022 Excellence Scholarship, and was a finalist for the Grantham Foundation for Art and the Environment 2023 Graduate Scholarship in Visual Arts. She is also one of the winners of the Prix Présences (2024), initiated by the Centre SAGAMIE.

Laetitia de Coninck has been selected by L’Écart as part of the PRÉSENCES project. Following her residency at Centre SAGAMIE, she will take part in a group exhibition at L’Écart in spring 2025.
