Cocon
European Heritage days, Lyon, France
September 19th to 21st, 2020
An immersive and cocoon space, where flying paintings on coton and silk softly touch the skin.
Opened just after the first lockdown in France, the event took on a meaning of liberation.
In an ambient fragrance of cinnamon, a dozen of paintings on natural fabrics and mere fabric panels were intrically displayed and moved by wind from a fan.\nThe whole art piece gave the tactile feeling of entering a cloud in the sky.
The entire work was inspired by the natural setting around and the family story of the artist, rooted in this hill and river.
