News from Elizabeth Michellod-Dutheil


TEXTE *LA FOLIE DES HOMMES*
Elizabeth MICHELLOD-DUTHEIL  
***…Aujourd’hui, les images de chaos et de destruction dΓ©ferlent sous nos yeux, la guerre et les souffrances se banalisent et nous, nous restons impuissants Γ  regarder les fracas qui tombent des cieux pour s’abattre sur des civils innocents.
L’espΓ©rance et la tolΓ©rance ont-elles Γ©tΓ© oubliΓ©es pour le profit et le pouvoir ? 
Faut-il que les balles des armes Γ  feu parlent au nom des peuples afin d’asseoir la soif de pouvoir et de profit de certains  au dΓ©triment de la solidaritΓ©?
Dans mon Ε“uvre, j’utilise un drap ancien pour symboliser le nid familial oΓΉ chacun devrait pouvoir se lover avec sΓ©rΓ©nitΓ© et en toute sΓ©curitΓ©. Mais que se passe-t-il quand cette quiΓ©tude est rompue par le bruit des armes meurtriΓ¨res qui sΓ¨ment le chaos et que le drap sert de linceul ?
J’insuffle cette destruction Γ  travers la sΓ©rigraphie qui fait entrevoir des pans de murs dΓ©truits par les balles. Tandis que les brΓ»lures intenses d’oxydation reprΓ©sentent les traces laissΓ©es par les bombes.

Mon travail gΓ©nΓ¨re une Γ’me de dΓ©solation et pose la question de l’exode : que faire quand on a tout perdu ? Mais c’est aussi un regard rΓ©probateur sur les prioritΓ©s et les valeurs portΓ©es par nos sociΓ©tΓ©s occidentales avec l’espoir que nous changions, un peu, beaucoup, pour un mieux-Γͺtre des peuples et des futures gΓ©nΓ©rations.****

A journey between architecture and design

A journey between architecture and design

The DAMSS, installation in two pieces, represents the wings of a synthetic garden where the observer grasps the free space surrounding him from any point of view, and his imagination stimulates an amplified vision between the materiality of panels and the empty spaces between them, like producing a huge echo.
The installation’s architecture launches this work into the design world, providing a starting point for creating similar works within both urban and social environments.
The work was made using a patient knotting technique: long strips of fabric were knotted together to incorporate the plastic supporting mesh.
All the textiles used originate from industrial waste, and have been completely recycled.
Un viaggio tra architettura e design.
L’installazione DAMSS Γ¨ composta da due soggetti che rappresentano angoli di un giardino sintetico.
Lo spettatore si trova immerso in questi volumi e ne coglie una visione, che poi viene amplificata dalla propria fantasia, come se si trovasse all’interno di una grande eco cromatica.
L’architettura dell’installazione proietta quest’opera nel mondo del design, fornendo uno spunto per la realizzazione di opere simili sia in ambito urbano che sociale.
Un sottotitolo dell’installazione potrebbe essere vivere in accordo con la natura, un diritto e in ugual misura un dovere, ecco perchΓ© questa nostra opera rappresenta il sodalizio consapevole tra uomo e natura.
