The artist Clémence Demesme presents us for this meeting her series of installations The memorials, a living and sensory approach to meditation.
The first two parts of the series are : Armenian Issue and Utoya issue, distinctly illustrating the Armenian genocide in Turkey in 1915 and the massacre in Oslo in July 2011.
Each film is presented in a different space and is assigned a soundtrack and a scent created especially for the project. projet.
Clémence Demesme is a French photographer and video artist born on March 9, 1988 in Avignon.
Very early, she leaves the school benches to train as a self-taught to the various techniques of shooting until she becomes autonomous in her universe and thus wavering between real obsessions and pure fiction.
At the age of 19, his first videos were noticed at the Vidéoformes festival (Clermont-Ferrand) and then, awarded at the AVIFF in Cannes a few years later (Le cauchemar du poisson in 2009).
Today, whether through photography or moving image, the 25-year-old artist, although very attached to the plastic emotion of the image, likes more and more to explore the narrative systems usually proper to fiction such as the construction of a character, then of a story.
