RÉSURGENCES: JACQUELINE LAMBA | ISABELLE DAËRON
When I first encountered Jacqueline Lamba's work, I was captivated by the vitality of her drawings, as if the presence of living water in these landscapes transformed the environment.
In conversation with Pauline Pavec and Quentin Derouet, I learned that some of the drawings were created not far from Paris, in Bures-sur-Yvette. Intrigued, I decided to visit and explore the "résurgences." In the 1960s, water was gushing out of Bures-sur-Yvette, but what can one observe today?
On a late summer morning, I embarked on a journey to explore the Yvette and its transformed, channeled, or re-channeled sections. In pursuit of a fountain, only a sign indicated its previous location. Some street names evoked the presence of springs or wetlands. Along the planted banks, I encountered calm water whose surface, occasionally braided with multitudes of strands, narrated a decelerated flow.
I encountered infrastructures designed to protect against flooding, channel water, and filter waste. Weirs, flood control basins, cofferdams ... numerous technical objects that constrain the water's flow to coexist with it. Interestingly, the water moved more freely as it passed through these devices. But where is the living water?
In Jacqueline Lamba's drawings, the energy is diffused, springs are propagated, and natural flows interact. I sought to comprehend the concept of a resurgence.
Through the creation of a research wall, I explored terrestrial and marine exsurgences. I traced the infiltration of rainwater into the ground and the reappearance of underground water on the surface.
My intention was to use drawings to illustrate the formation of a resurgence and, conversely, the functioning of technical devices that regulate the flow.
Approaching water always provides access to knowledge. In any case, it is my method of gaining a deeper understanding of the world
