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.
CHRONOS ! The Gods of Time is a series of dynamic sculptures, each intricately crafted to capture the essence of legendary athletes – the fastest the world has seen. These sculptures not only depict their remarkable feats but also symbolize the temporal imprints they’ve left behind, represented by a mobile assembly of clock hands suspended on wires. The centerpiece of each sculpture is a luminescent hand, its glow illuminating the monument impact of these athletes on history. Set against the backdrop of a jubilant crowd, this artwork pays homage to 1892 call for the revival of the Olympic Games, serving as a timeless tribute to human achievement and the enduring spirit of competition.
Stéphanie Guglielmetti was born in 1971. She lives and works in Paris.
