Since a few years, Stéfane Perraud’s art is about the living and the transformations that the man imposes to it. His process arises from an exploration of the emission of light and from interaction. During his in situ residency at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, Stéfane Perraud suggests pursuing this research by being inspired by a book of Georges Didi-Hubermann titled « Survivance des lucioles ». His project will freeze in the space a cloud of fireflies taking their flight, swarm simulated by a suspended plexiglas structure that will submit to a meticulous electronic work. A series of gouaches on paper will dialogue with this installation which the discursive potential is political as well as poetic.
