Nicolas Sassoon - Studio Visit - 2014

Nicolas Sassoon

Studio Visit

2014

Nicolas Sassoon’s Pandora series documents the space he lives and works in for this digital commission from Opening Times. Through the humble animated gif, and its inherent aesthetics, the artists plays with the notion of space and psychogeography in this ongoing series of works exploring the juxtaposition of the physical and the non-places which the Web offers.

Studio Visit, the second of the series, presents the interior of the room, carefully composed in a constructivist manner, through pixel art in the form of animated gifts. The interior shows a series of shapes and surfaces, ranging from classical antiquity (a vessel can be found on the floor) to post-modern flairs (post-its appear on the wall). The artist breaks the notions of and perspective by consciously avoiding shading, or placing objects inside flat surfaces. The bright colour palette is limited to the objects which inhabit the house, and the whole scene is set floating in an ethereal inexistent space.

Suiskies

2014

Nicolas Sassoon’s Pandora series documents the space he lives and works in for this digital commission from Opening Times. Through the humble animated gif, and its inherent aesthetics, the artists plays with the notion of space and psychogeography in this ongoing series of works exploring the juxtaposition of the physical and the non-places which the Web offers.

Suiskies, the first series of artworks created for this commission, presents 3d models of the outside of the house, penetrated by voids which reveal the space’s true contents: An ethereal material blue and shifting with no depth, denying volume. This material is characteristic of the artists explorations with moving patterns. The house is transposed to another dimension, in which the traditional notions of space are not applicable.

Architectural non-places

Nicolas Sassoon (FR, 1981) lives and works in flux between France and Canada. Usually limiting his colour palette and resolution in the form of animated GIF images, the artist explores physical space, architecture and patterns in his distinctively colourful style.
