Atelier Falaise – Camille Tan

Camille (BE, 1993):
‘My creative process began during walks or strolling through urban landscapes, through the collection of ma- terials and artefacts. An object gleaned has a narrative potential and due to its various possible origins, it can give rise to multiple stories.Then I feel compelled to deal with this object and it constitutes my work.

The trace, the manufacturing processes, the accidents are marks of time that give life to the material. The round and organic shapes emerge as living elements, sometimes flabby, almost fluid.

The ‘hanging mobiles’ or ‘suspensions’ question the relationship between space, light and movement. They are usually made of wood, stone, and metal; they are elementary natural materials that are articulated by the play of weights and forces. These forces involved provide a solid support to the whole structure but may sometimes cause its imbalance.’
