This project questions a personal and shared feeling of being disconnected from the tangible world, the sensation of having lost the density of the moments of life, as well as the lack of depth in our relationships with things. In response to this lack of presence of the body and the mind, this project is looking for a state of being, a way of relating to the world which is different from our everyday life, full of screens.
This reflection about presence is translated into a hypersensual relationship to materials, which tries to go as close as possible to the things that surround us through narrative creating objects. How to be anchored in the earth, in the present moment just like people dwelling in the origins of time, that is the question. The remote and contemplative past will pierce the present, thus allowing to unearth strangeness and wonder, giving way to a magical relation to reality.
