Inès Mélia - The Domestic Life - I have been very busy writing letters
« The Domestic Life » présente une série d'œuvres éphémères constituée d'objets du quotidien: vaisselles, fromages, fleurs, graines, et autres.
À travers ce travail, j'interroge le banal avec humour et explore comment la créativité peut révéler les possibles dans un réel… trop réel.
« I have been very busy writing letters »
Une série de mouchoirs brodés avec une écriture tremblante.
Les phrases un peu sentimentales proviennent des livres disparus. Les calligrammes, eux, sont inventés.
Pièce unique, fait à la maison
Papier cadeau
"J’ai fabriqué du papier cadeau à partir des pages découpées, afin que le Tissue Book (la boîte à mouchoirs) soit emballé dans ses propres pages. Laissant le choix à son propriétaire de jeter ou non le contenu du livre."
* Uniquement disponible en librairie

« The Domestic Life » gathers ephemeral works made from everyday items: Dishes, cheese, flowers, seeds…you name it. <br>Through this work, I question the mundane with humor, and explore how creativity can reveal the possibles in the real— oh too real.

A series of tissues embroidered with shaky writings.
Each sentence has been picked from the missing books, for its corniness. The calligrams are invented.
