Olivier Girouard
Fabbrica_01 (2008) 9"


artist
composition : Olivier Girouard

description
The studio is both a place of work and a work of place. […] The transformation of an environing space (it’s air, it’s fog, it’s specific atmosphere) into landscape of the psyche, into stylistic character, into imprint of intimacy? […] The ways of arts often begin converse to the ways of life.

By recording artists in the process of creation – the simple, ritual, common gestures – I become aware of the ways of life to create a work: the sculptor reaching for her clay and settling it on her potter’s wheel, the sound artist reaching for her soldering iron to create an amplifier and a dancer practicing in the silence of her craft. Following this, I recreate these places, the work of places, in a defined space. I hope to render, to reveal matter in it’s most essential movements.
