Photographer Marine Lanier is being hosted in Bagnères-de-Bigorre for a creative residency taking place from October 2026 to June 2027, focusing on astronomy and the Pic du Midi de Bigorre Observatory.

During her residency, which will be held in the context of the future Maison Alix, the artist will explore the archives of the Alix studios and the Pyrenean territory. Her work will aim to create a dialogue between historical photographs, the region's landscapes, and scientific imagination.
As part of her artistic process, Marine Lanier will also visit the Pic du Midi de Bigorre Observatory. She will meet with scientists there to draw inspiration from their research and perspectives.
The body of work created in Bagnères-de-Bigorre will be presented to the public in June 2027, coinciding with the official opening of the Maison Alix. Visitors will discover an original creation inspired by the Pic du Midi and enriched by the historical photographic collections of the Alix studios.
