RACINES collection, 2010 I Installations murales et sculpture en porcelaine

I SCULPTURE

Originellement initiée par un travail sur l’orchidée, la collection Racines vient de l’observation de la vitalité des racines aériennes, s’entrelaçant avec les feuilles, à l’instar d’une broderie végétale. “Formée à Sèvres, j’y ai rencontré la porcelaine qui est devenue ma terre de prédilection. Pour m’approprier cette matière, je l’ai dès le début associée aux dentelles issues de mon héritage familial. Les effets de texture ainsi créés sont devenus au fil des ans la signature de mon travail. Les pièces sont entièrement modelées de mes mains dans mon atelier situé au cœur de Paris. Nul moule n’est utilisé, chaque pièce est ainsi unique et développe sa propre expression et un mouvement qui lui est spécifique.” Alice Riehl Source : aliceriehl.com

Distorted Angels, 2014 I Archive From 'Axiom'

I MUSIQUE

En présentant AXIOM, projet ambitieux qui combine à la fois un film et un album, Darius Keeler et Danny Griffiths, les piliers d’Archive, nous ont propulsés quelque part loin des lieux communs. De scènes réalistes en séquences slow motion, leur film fait flotter les contrastes et s’accorde sans fausse note avec l’intensité de l’album. Fidèle à son empreinte, Archive fait monter la tension et la parsème dans la durée, entre violence étouffée et moments de grâce. Source : berlinpoche.de

ROCOCO, 2015 I MACBETH, 2009 I THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, 2009 - Alexia Sinclair.

I PHOTOGRAPHIE

Alexia Sinclair is an award winning Australian Artist and Photographer. Her distinct style is easily recognisable and highly original. Using a visual narrative to seduce her audience with each photographic feast, Sinclair’s art is dark and seductive, baroque and symbolic. Her multilayered photographs subtly present contemporary notions of fashion and beauty through innovative digital media, whilst restoring antique notions of classicism, elegance and luxury.

CLOUD, 2012 - at Nuit Blanche Calgary.

I INSTALLATION

CLOUD was our first truly public work and a calculated experiment, requiring the audience to surrender their inhibitions, unlearning the “Please Do Not Touch” policy of traditional gallery spaces. People are necessary to complete the piece. By standing beneath the raincloud, pulling its chains, viewers cause lightning to flicker on the surface of the sculpture, unwittingly staging an electrical storm for the audience beyond the periphery of the rainfall. Without people, CLOUD is only half complete. Source : incandescentcloud.com

Flume | Scratch My Back, 2010 - Peter Gabriel.

I MUSIQUE

Scratch My Back was the first instalment of a song exchange, where Peter covered his favourite songs, their authors then reciprocating my reinterpreting a favourite moment from the Gabriel canon. Peter reached for the songbooks of some of the most venerable songwriters ever to put quaver to page, including David Bowie, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Randy Newman, Neil Young, Radiohead and Elbow.s. With a self-imposed dictat of no guitars, no drums and just orchestral backing, each song remoulded by Peter was often imbued with new meaning. Source : petergabriel.com

Kusmi Tea | The Beauty of blends, 2014 - Jeremy Barbit.

I VIDEO

Jeremy Barbit was born in Marseille, France in 1974. After studying fine arts, he moved to Paris to join ESEC Film School (Ecole Supérieure d'Etudes Cinématographiques), where his personality and sensitivity are quickly pointed out: his first short film, CleanOrama, won several awards in art films festivals. This unusual experimental 18 minutes drama with real Barbie dolls presented a very modern approach of society and its relationship with images. Since then, his constant search of harmony and perfection in image led him naturally in working as a beauty film director. Source : jeremycharbit.com

A kiss to build a dream on, 2014 - Christophe Donna pour le magazine OOB.

I PHOTOGRAPHIE

“Enfant, j’ai passé beaucoup de temps auprès de mon grand-père qui était tailleur pour la maison Chloé et Mr Lagerfeld. Je pense que c’est dans son atelier qu’est né mon goût pour la mode. Pourquoi ne pas avoir suivi la photographie plutôt que son chemin, me demanderez- vous ?… Pour faire bref, je suis plus attaché à l’image de la femme qu’à la valeur de ce qu’elles portent. Je n’aurais pas pu envisager mon travail de photographe autrement qu’en cherchant à les rendre encore plus belles à travers mon objectif. La Beauté est une discipline qui me passionne. Elle est à mi-chemin entre mon expérience de photographe de nature morte et de photographe de mode. Les plans cadrés permettent de jouer avec d’autres outils que le textile. Les cosmétiques, la coiffure, la joaillerie sont des terrains de jeux sans limite…”. Source : christophedonna.com

Digital Grotesque, 2013 Printing Architecture.

I ARCHITECTURE

Digital Grotesque is the first human-scale immersive space entirely constructed out of 3D printed sandstone. The design consists of two individual halves (Aediculae) that form a volume - the grotto. While on the outside the grotto presents itself as a flat cubical volume, on the inside a complex geometry, consisting of millions of individual facets that awaits the visitor. The grotto was purely designed and detailed through customized algorithms. It is printed at a resolution of a tenth of a millimeter to dimensions of a 3.2-meter high, 16 square meter large room.

Logotype RMN, 2006 - Réunion des Musées Nationaux par Experimental Jetset.

I GRAPHISME

“In the summer of 2006, we were approached by RMN to redesign their logo. Réunion des Musées Nationaux is a French organization, uniting 35 national museums. Founded in 1895, it's a very prestigious establishment, and one of the main cultural institutes in France. The question RMN asked us was actually very simple: they wanted us to redesign their logo in such a way that the emphasis would be on the acronym 'RMN' (rather than on the single 'M', or on the full name, 'Réunion des Musées Nationaux'). The solution came to us very quickly. It was obvious to us that the original logo, the circled M, already contained, within itself, the two letters needed to complete the RMN acronym. So we cut the old logo in half, liberating the R and N, and placed them alongside the M, thus completing the full acronym”. Source and more : experimentaljetset.nl
