Aurélie Ferruel and Florentine Guédon

Aurélie Ferruel and Florentine Guédon share a work of sculpture linked to the living. Legends, traditions (rituals, costumes), stories of inhabitants and local know-how constitute the raw material of the work of these two artists of rural origin, whose research upstream of the works is an anthropological approach. The encounters, the shared stories they collect but also the universes and ways of life they discover allow them to nourish their work of sculpture and performances with new materials or new forms.
