The piece “Between Two Lands” questions the dissimilarities between the land of birth and adoptive land. It toggles between two states. It is in a state of observation. The centerpiece in natural fiber is restored and embroidered with the wheel of life. Philippe, Jennyfer and I searched how to replace or restore the fiber with a semi- transparent structure. The delivery was long and difficult. I developed three projects before I stopped on the current concept.
The structure is still being worked on by a cabinetmaker and an extraordinary carpenter, Pascal Frisa. Work is in finishing.
It is time to introduce the newest member of the team, the fabulous photographer Thomas Bremond. He began his career in journalism. His first mission was with rebels in Niger. Since, Thomas has worked in cinema.
In the project he helps to enrich the human dimension, so central to this adventure. The challenge is to deepen the understanding by witnessing and documenting the gestures of work by the team. Calling to return to the soul of the project, man.
Thomas interpreted this reflection by a sentence when I presented him with the concept “You know Tal, people in the West, and particularly in Paris, do not want to be photographed, but they want to be beautiful in the pictures. I seek the soul of the person in my photo not his beauty. This is what I could reach in the most precarious situations, and I have been missing since. Maybe thanks to “Embroidered Memories”, by a real research, by natural gesture of creative work, we could grasp the soul, even in Paris “.
«The Worker “refers to the economic suffering and insecurity associated with immigration. Thus, the piece is fragile. It consists of a lamp and a working surface traditionally for handwork. The lamp is marked by a dramatic gesture and continuous embroidery covers the entire electric circuit, from the bulb to the socket.
It is also a result of an encounter with contemporary cabinetmaker Hubert Kerléo, who recently went on a walk near his studio, in the woods, to search for broken branches of wood and test them as legs….
In parallel Jennyfer and Philippe advance together on the innovative aspect that is the use of embroidery in the manufacture of a lamp; integrating by that structure, esthetics and function. We are now in finishing.
6 more days to the end of this crowdfunding!…………………………………………………….
