With her project “Architecture relationnelle”, Mathilde Chénin wishes to deepen her exploration of the notion of distance. To this end, she plans to create 3D ‘architectural models’ indexed to the movement and the distance of bodies between them. By means of simple pictorial elements, the artist wishes to reveal the ways in which architectural spaces are updated by the movement of the bodies which evolve in them. Chénin’s interest in the idea of shaping the possibilities of ‘relational architecture’ involves a study of the modes in which physical spaces are inhabited. During her residency at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, her wanderings in the city will inform an exploration of the ways in which places are ‘embodied’ by those who frequent them. She will present this work in the form of video sequences that feature abstractions created from her findings in architectural spaces.
