LA VITRINE MŒLLEUSE

#4

Frédérique Rusch

Curator : Bertrand Léonard

8729 Rue de l'Université

The fan gallops. The hands see themselves in stiletto heels. The cigarettes play Mikado. The invisible smoke envelops the eyes. The window turns into a belly.

The objects reinvade the original space from which they were extracted. This return takes the form of Polaroids that are witnesses of their organic mutation. The consumer products merge with living beings. The object comes alive, diverts from its initial function and life fantasizes itself as an object in Pop Bubble Gum pink. These hybrid creatures take us to narrative games tinged with humor. A soft and strange sensuality emerges from simple and curved shapes. The minimalist aspect of the compositions and the geometric graphics reveal themselves thanks to the sugary flat tints and Frédérique Rusch’s delicate stroke. Design, illustration and sculpture merge to create a fun and singular language.

The object of desire generates its own fantasies. It is at one with us and its own life. Like a comical reflection of our existential need to consume. Pointless and essential.
