installation
artistic research
As part of the research group La Fabrique Bleue at ESACM Clermont, centered around Maggie Nelson’s book Bluets. The project began with a collection of found images of accidental altars, created when candles are used to replace the Wii sensor bar. It unfolds across three formats: a printed image edition, screen-printed devotional candles, and a looping video displayed on a CRT television.
curation
art & editorial
project management
Conceptualized and led the design, production, and binding of exhibition booklet.
The publication includes artwork descriptions, a co-written fictional text, and a circular interview format in which each artist interviewed another. This structure echoes the exhibition’s themes of reciprocity and collective creation.
Curatorship, writing, communication, and installation of an exhibition in a curatorial committee. The exhibition explored themes of figuration, personification, and friendship, presenting works by Adrien Brahimi, Jimmy Beauquesne, Marie Ducaté, Ambre Kopac, Marie L’Hours, Elsa Muller, and Lorette Pouillon.
research
writing
Graphic conception, research, and writing of a thesis investigating the role of interface design in masking digital labor, proposing strategies for resistance and disruption.
The book features a cover coated with black thermochromic ink that becomes transparent upon touch, revealing the thesis title.
workshop
Created and lead a two-day workshop for first and second graders, exploring drawing in a new way by playing with shadow and light. Outdoors, children observed cast shadows, traced outlines, and filled shapes with textures and imagination. Indoors, the focus was on experimentation using prisms, overhead projectors, diffraction, and layered colors.
The workshop introduced children to shape drawing, adapting tools to the environment, the patience required for careful tracing, and the varied possibilities of line work, while also discovering the graphic potentials of light.
graphic design
Creation, management and graphic design of Périmètre Contemporain, a platform dedicated to the dissemination of so-called “decentralized” contemporary art. It targets artists working in the field of visual and plastic arts outside major capitals. The platform operates primarily on Instagram and functions through open calls for participation.
creative writing
drawing
Fog, Dry Eyes, and Tempered Glass is a creative thesis exploring the theme of growing up with the Internet in the early 21st century. Combining editorial design, illustration, and creative writing, the work reflects on digital imagery and spaces as formative elements of identity and emotion, beyond a real/virtual divide.
performance
editorial design
Writing and design of a public handout containing the script of the performance How to Cry – A Ritual of Lacrymancia.
research writing
Writing and editorial design of a research paper exploring the relationship between beauty and function, based on a case study of designer Stefan Sagmeister.
