The exhibition is the work of five new artists: Benjamin Chassagne, Moussa Sarr, Achraf Touloub and Vlad & Alina Turco.
Benjamin Chassagne
Multidisciplined and self taught artist, Benjamin Chassagne, lives and works in Paris, exploring images through photography, graphics and video. The architectural universe of La Defense, where he grew up, has heavily formed all of his visual creations. Initially passionate about photography he creates sequences which play with movement and visual reconstruction of buildings. Composer of minimal electronic music, enthusiastic designer, and VJ, Chassagne experiments with design in all its forms, questioning our relationship to reality by visual disruption of the space.
Moussa Sarr
Based in Paris, Moussa Sarr creates contemporary fairytales by filming fixed one scene performances which reveal many social and political questions with caustic irony. Humour, violence and derision are the main driving forces in her work. With fatalistic humour Sarr reflects on, through a series of films, the relationship between people and power.
Achraf Touloub
The works of Achraf Touloub are the result of a reflection on contemporary French society. Communalism, identity and cultural appearance are clear themes in Touloub’s paintings and designs. The artist uses illustration and comics to interrogate what he calls “post colonial reality” as well as reflecting on the tradition of art and art nourishing tradition.
Vlad & Alina Turco
Questioning the relationship between the viewer and the work, and what we can expect from a work of art, Vlad and Alina Turco’s work interrogates the art world, the different ways of presenting works, the possible integrations of art in a useful, modern and profitable world and the active role of the viewer. Vlad and Alina transport us to a universe where we see, reflected back at us, our internal contradictions, our own conditioning and the evidence relative to reality.
