Programme
And yet she's turn ! Samuel Rousseau
Nearly forty works draw a course in two times. From the deafening din of megalopolis to the magic of nature's cycles, the artist's installations play on the illusion between a real object and a video image, often fragile but always poetic.
Through an alliance between image technologies and recycled objects, the artist stages the crashes of the modern world in the face of the infinite time of the universe with a strong dose of humor and a certain narrative poetry. The overconsumption and mass media, the alienation of man, the invasive place of technology and the vital momentum of nature feed his works that express a form of revolt while remaining light and funny in appearance.
