The theatre of objects

Objects are the product of imagination; they are receptacles into which we can project a part of ourselves. Through various artistic fields from theatre to design, I analyse the theatricality of objects through a range of original ways of representing and perceiving them, in contrast with reality, their role and function. I therefore examine the ability objects have to attract us, move us, challenge us and even change our habits. From fiction to reality, I gradually shift towards the inclusion of these perceptive keys in the work of the designer, in an increasingly autonomous kind of object that can influence its user.

« Activée (la performance) par ses designers mêmes, elle renvoie dès lors de façon intrigante à des dimensions cachées, étranges, décalées des objets et des situations ».
