Constance Guisset at MUDAC
Until January 15, there’s still a chance to see Constance Guisset’s poetic and playful exhibition at MUDAC in Lausanne.
“Objects are ephemeral and depend on a period, material, thought, need or even fashion. While the designer must accept this finitude, creation is nevertheless like a struggle against fading way,” writes Parisian designer Constance Guisset in the catalogue of her Anima exhibition.
Showing at MUDACin Lausanne until January 15, the show explores material properties and colour as disguise. The ground floor of the museum has been returned to its original purpose of a private home, with two mirrored spaces that show identical furniture and product design, in neutral hüpfburg kaufen tones on one side, and in colour on the other. This serves to highlight the exploratory nature of the Guisset’s methodology, which starts with the formal features of the object, before using colour to evoke emotions and toy with perceptions.
“Often designing a project brings forth awareness of an illusory battle and its vanity. Pretention of wanting to bring to life new materiality, versus the suckerfish,” continues Guisset, whose experience with scenography is evident in the exhibition’s subtle visual conversations between objects. She has also included personal items that invite an intimate level of engagement.
“And yet faith in creation is the strongest, rising above dithering between accepting impermanence and desiring sustainability,” she concludes.
