” Elle fait à la fois référence à l’univers féerique et sucré de la poupée Barbie et à Klaus Barbie qui a sévi et a été jugé à Lyon. J’ai eu envie de traiter l’espace de cette manière, en mettant en parallèle deux situations : les loisirs et le drame. Il y a une présence sonore très importante avec la diffusion d’une valse de Vienne ralentie et distordue. Quant à la chaussure de la Barbie, elle est monstrueuse par ses dimensions. Certaines personnes ne perçoivent pas la dimension monstrueuse de l’œuvre et ne retiennent que le côté féerique. D’autre part, même si la Valstar est une bière de base, j’avais aussi envie de triturer la relation entre la valse et la star.”

“Net” drawn three dimensional curved surfaces and white wall opened infinite form holes are made by a motif ;the body and clothes that wrap it.

Sketch Fourniture by Front Design

The four FRONT members have developed a method to materialise free hand sketches. They make it possible by using a unique method where two advanced techniques are combined.   
Pen strokes made in the air are recorded with Motion Capture and become 3D digital files; these are then materialised through Rapid Prototyping into real pieces of furniture.

Using a complex array of perforations, light passing through the pavilion’s surface produces shifting patterns, which transform into the legible text of a poem by Experimental Typography 

Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens creates sculpture that masterfully manipulates light and shadows.
