Stéphanie Guglielmetti
At the crossroads of kinetic and spatialism
Stéphanie Guglielmetti works with anything that is movable, such as raw materials, space, light and shadow, and extraction. She creates unpredictable movements following the rhythm of subtle vibrations. Her research lies at the crossroads of kinetic art and spatialism.
The fascinating world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland resonates deeply with modern reality. Alice’s quest for identity, lost in a constantly changing world. Time pressure, symbolized by the ever-late White Rabbit. Irrational rules and the tyrannical authority of the Queen of Hearts. Inconsistency and uncertainty embodied by the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat… These encounters create a sense of confusion and absurdity, the foundation for Stéphanie Guglielmetti’s new series of sculptures: ABSURD !
Each sculpture features a suspended pocket watch with a shattered mechanical movement, each inspired by Alice’s encounter with one of these curious characters.
Stéphanie Guglielmetti was born in 1971. She lives and works in Paris.
