Thereness elective artist research: Arnaud Lapierre

For my thereness elective we are encouraged to find new artists associated to this notion of thereness in some way. I used Pinterest as a research device and found Aesthetica Magazine had posted a very intriguing artist.

Arnaud Lapierre, a designer and scenographer based in Paris.

RING ______________________________________________ 2012 Mirrored cubes installation. FIAC PARIS 2012 Location : Place Vendôme, Paris. Dimensions :  H4500 x L5000 mm ………………………………………………………………. Commissioned by AUDI BEST DESIGN INSTALLATION, WALLPAPER. ……………………………………………………………….     “Ring” is an installation which takes into consideration the urban space networking : the rhythm, flow, organization and spatial hierarchy. The installation embodies a visual effect that is to connect all of these interactions through the implementation of an optical effect: the repetition of an cubic mirror to break the perception of the place. This dynamic installation changes the relationships between individuals and the space they are going through.  "Ring" invits the visitor  to play with the installation and space on two levels: The very first approach would be more related to experience a change in the urban areas: as a temporal kinetics. The facets of each cube reflect the place and reconstruct a paradigm that breaks the reading of the course. Ring works at this stage as a visual intrusion, an acceleration that changes the perception of the  visited place. This is a spacial rediscovery. In a second step, the installation proposes to get inside, to see his own image multiplied to infinity, which collides with urban detail, it is now a place outside time and outside spatiality ,in total rupture with the outside principle . The vision is more intimate. - Credits photo : ALDS and  © Eric Mercier :  www. emspirit.fr ______________________________________________

 “Ring installation by Arnaud Lapierre distorts and reconstructs reality through the layering of reflections and voids. The cylindrical environment warps visitors' perception of space into a simultaneously reconstructed and deconstructed reality.”- Aesthetica Magazine via Pinterest.

This elective has definitely sparked my interest in disrupting space. This installation is mesmerising and changes the way we see the world and our relationship to the space around us.

I love the idea of involving mirror in my own work. My experimental piece with the pins and metal gauze involve a mirror and I would like to develop this further.
