LIFE CYCLE – Proposal for an artwork for the main Entrance of a geriatric hospital in Finland

1- Project:

In the project LIFE  CYCLE and for the first time I have put together my knowledge as a landscape architect and my sensibility as an artist.

I was selected to realise this project in the next months but unfortunately, because of the costs of the installation of the silhouettes, this installation has been cancelled. Nebertheless, I am happy to share with you my proposal… and who knows, maybe one day, I will have the chance to do something similar elsewhere … !

 3- Concept

Ateliers d’une à deux semaines dans les écoles, associations et autres institutions impliquant les enfants


Art workshops with children have always been part of my personal Art work. They represent an opportunity to experiment new concepts and ideas in a very concrete way.

1- Les Théâtres marins, La Source, 2005

Les Théâtres Marins  sont des théâtres d’ombres et de lumière où des créatures en grillage fin et fil de fer réalisées par les enfants sont mises en scène dans des théâtres rétroéclairés.
 
La Source est une association fondée par Gérard Garouste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2- Livre-objet: Le Prince de Motordu, 2007

Le Prince de Motordu  a été financé par le DRAC de Normandie et réalisé avec 7 enfants de 7 à 11 ans dans le centre de loisir de Pont-Audemer.  Inspiré de “La Belle Lisse Poire du Prince de Motordu”, cette oeuvre est un livre-objet ou cylindre (70cm L x 50 cm H) divisé en 5 parties et muni d’1 éclairage central.

 

 3- Livre-objet: La légende du Seigneur des Essarts

  Deux livre-objets ont été réalisés avec 1 classe de 5ème d’un collège de la région parisienne et avec le soutien de la fondation Culture et Diversité.

Ce livre-objet s’inspire d’une légende du Moyen-âge de Haute Normandie qui conte l’histoire d’un seigneur qui avant de partir en croisade brisa son alliance en 2 moitiés. Il confia la première moitié  à sa femme et se trancha le haut de la cuisse pour y enfouir la deuxième moitié…

 

 4- Les chevaliers de lumière, 2008

Sept costumes de miroir  entre armure et carapaces d’insectes ont été réalisés avec une classe de 5ème de la région parisienne.

Performance with an overhead projector: “Human Landscapes”

For the “Projection” evening curated by Deborah Phillips and in the continuity of the exhibition LUCIDE, I have proposed the 1st of March a performance: Human Landscapes with an overhead projector. It was a “Première” for me : I did enjoy it a lot and the comments I had were very precious: they will help me a lot to prepare the next one…!

Exhibition: LUCIDE – contemporary gallery T27 – vernissage 24th of february

We are 3 artists and I am presenting for this exhibition called  “LUCIDE”  a series of  3 Dream boxes  which have the particularity to be visible in a dark room only.

The issue of intimate territory and its limits did guide this artwork. Mirror-games, transparencies, reflections, ochre and grey-blue lights create the illusion of spaces. Feminine characters from a small girl to the young woman and the grand mother appear and disappear depending where you are looking from.   View the pictures.

(those 3 boxes are difficult to photograph…. not only because they are in a total obscurity but also because what you see changes depending on where you look from…)

You are most welcome to the finissage the 25th of March from 7.30pm !
