About
Papier Boulettes is a project of monumental frescoes made from recycled paper, born in Brussels in 2021 out of the collaboration between Maud Bocquet and Zélie Boulestreau.
The frescoes are most often created in situ, from paper and cardboard gathered on site. Drawing on ecological insulation techniques, recycled paper pulp is spread across the walls. This simple process, between art and craft, gives rise to complex motifs: animal, plant and mineral.
A multidisciplinary artist and artistic director of Papier Boulettes, Zélie Boulestreau brings to the project her papermaking expertise and her interest in living systems and the preservation of ecosystems, informed by her knowledge of the plants she grows in her Pyrenean garden.
