Paperclips
Vincent Levrat
Nominated by
Vincent Levrat
Paperclips is a collection of bent and photographed paperclips. This cultural artifact, seemingly trivial and often twisted out of boredom or anxiety—becomes raw material for a work exploring the space between constraint, process, and outcome. Rather than aiming for form or utility, it embraces gesture as meditative practice and reflects on sculpture and photography.

Among all the wood cut and the nail hammered, what he likes the most is to make you scratch your head. Let’s face it; we all get bored on the internet. Remember those magic hours spent playing with a woodstick when you were just a kids? Vincent is calling that up.

Outburst
Vincent occupies a wasteland in order to make it his playground, his open air studio. This empty space with no function, unmanaged by social rules, appears as a space for freedom. The poor materials found on site becomes the source of creation, once triggered by the virtue of a childlike state of mind. Physical experimentation, craftsmanship and materiality are celebrated in the place, aiming to escape the virtual world and technologies.
