Laurence Hugues, a writer and video poet, blends documentary sources with an intimate approach. She conducts public readings and writing workshops. Her literary works include "Pas vu Maurice," depicting a woman’s life in a mountain village, and "L’Amour du lieu," tracing 18th-century botanist Clémence Lortet's life in today's urban environment. Focused on the anthropocene and biodiversity loss, Hugues explores human and non-human relationships. She ventured into children’s literature with "The Bear and the Persimmons," a book inspired by a falcon encounter during the COVID lockdown and written in Japan. Hugues first visited India as a film student and has collaborated with many Indian artists and environmentalists since.
