MORGAN.E

Morgan.e lives and works in the Paris environs.
Their work and artistic practice (collage, painting, sculpture) are rooted in their existence as a chronically ill person.
They explore and propose alternative narratives of disability, far removed from the heroism typical of conventional representations of illness.
Regardless of the medium used, the aim is always to confront the “able-bodied gaze” and question the place of disabled people in society.
Morgan.e uses their body and experience to address themes such as representation and medical and institutional violence.

CHRISTOPHE ECOFFET

Christophe Ecoffet worked in broadcasting as a photojournalist. In 2019, he began a photography project focusing on working-class neighborhoods and minorities.

This work is part of the series entitled Lagrint19, which focuses on the rap scene in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. The horizontal lines of the staircase contrast with the verticality of the large housing projects that make up the rappers’ environment. “Discret !” emphasizes the chromatic fusion of the person and their surroundings: a kind of camouflage that also conceals the face.

NINA FORLANI

Based in Ivry-sur-Seine (94), accompanied by Anne Rochette at the Beaux Arts in Paris, she specializes in volume, textiles, and ceramics.
Through objects, images, and image-objects, she explores the comical, absurd, or unusual nature of certain gestures and customs.
She plays with hybridizations of know-how in order to question hierarchies in creative and manual practices, as well as the contours of our perceptions.

“A harness adorns a piece turned by a potter whose method is very specific and fascinates the world of ceramics. The shape is basic, and the potter’s fingerprints on the inside of the piece create a memory of her movements as well as constituting her trademark. Fetishe is part of my textile work. Textiles reveal gestures, and therefore bodies at work. »

ARTHUR GILLET

Born into a deaf and neurodiverse family marginalized from official languages following the ban on sign language from 1880 to 2005. He explores the possibilities of figuration as a negotiation between identity and community, and works with the polysemic nature of images, in failure or freedom, as a way of placing the viewed and the viewers on an equal footing.

“It is an Annunciation: a young child looks at a television set, which appears as a surface of coppery light. The rays that go from one to the other give shape to what cannot be seen. To quote Lennard J Davis, an academic specializing in disability studies and CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), the television is a sacred object in the home, breaking isolation through the appearance of an image (Annonciation, 2025 is an oil on copper). In the kitchen, Entre deux tours, 2025, references a small painting by Cristoforo de Predis, depicting a figure covering his eyes at the edge of a precipice. I have updated it with my own story, that of the young people from the social housing estates where I grew up: the windows are those of the social housing where I lived. As for the light boxes (A Little Princess, 2025 and Sitcom, 2025), they are part of the narrative, which I have been working on since 2023, of the history of CODAs and deaf people, intertwined with that of the technologies and religious institutions that help or prevent deaf people from answering questions about the invisible.”

BEATRICE LUSSOL

Born on October 21. Visual artist. Pursues three artistic practices in parallel: drawing, writing, and collage. In her drawings, she develops a vocabulary accompanied by the wet qualities of watercolor, drawing inspiration from the body, its nutrients, its organs, fingers, mouths, vulvas, ready for shifts in meaning and polysemic interpretations.

“My work combines watercolor with ink, acid-free felt-tip pens, and a double-page spread from a collage book. It deals with the elasticity of bodies, hands, vulvas that become mouths, and vice versa. The collage echoes this with teeth, flesh, hands—a vocabulary ripe for shifts in meaning. As for the girl in the tuxedo… Her high heel has escaped to go and turn up in Virginie Trastour’s proposal…”

RALF MARSAULT

Visual artist and anthropologist (PhD). His practice questions notions of spatialization, the perception of phenomena, and the ethics of their representation. It includes image construction, weaving, sculpture, and ceramics.

“Mut (meaning courage in German) oder (or) mût (imperfect subjunctive of the verb mouvoir) - because it is always a question of Tenir, main tenir (holding on, (h)and keeping holding on. In an increasingly restricted field of possibilities, still believing in the possibility of something emerging. Since its inception, my work has questioned the ambiguity of violence.”

SHANTA RAO

Shanta Rao’s work invokes a transformative world in perpetual flux. It draws its origins from concrete physical and biological phenomena, as well as from abstract algorithms borrowed from contemporary music. Through an approach that blurs or invalidates genealogies, source objects mutate, hybridize, and manifest themselves in new forms. A change of language, form, and material. Whether paintings, objects, or installations, they are the result of hybrid processes and mechanics, a shaping of entropy that questions the persistence of beings and things through time and the dynamics of flows and transitions.

“BLOW BY_20 is part of a series of around thirty works, created exclusively in paint. These skin-like imprints, with their physical and psychic plasticity, explore elusive identities and camouflage strategies.”

CLARISSE TRANCHARD

In the form of sculptures, images, installations, performances, and videos, her work is based on low tech, discarded items, or artifacts of little value. Her assemblages allow her to address notions of high and low culture, amorality, marginality, mutation, and archaism.

“Trump. This single detail encapsulates the entire tower, the false representation of the liberal system embodied by Trump. The cynicism of this piece, which evokes the state of the world, lies in its presentation: a trap and an inevitable fall, blatant instability. The photograph is embedded in a crude wooden frame, backlit by neon. The entire piece is positioned at an angle and precariously supported by a wooden rod. The public is free to knock it over deliberately. »

VIRGINIE TRASTOUR

Virginie Trastour’s work is multifaceted, allowing her to create a narrative.
She has a sentimental interest in the state of abandonment of things, objects, and spaces; the residues of life and everything that bears witness to a passage, a memory. She unearths objects, photographs, bones, car wrecks, posters, vinyl records… Her practice consists of intervening on their states of deterioration through assemblages, collages, hybridizations, and/or drawn and cut-out forms.

“When I draw, I am more interested in the people I depict, my friends, and their way of being, than in the way I draw. Charlotte is blind, and when we walk together, she usually puts her right hand on my left shoulder and holds on tight. Her dark power is expressed through the magnetism of her titanium crystal eyes, which reflect the spectrum of colors, and which can be found under my shoe, whose heel I broke while dancing.”
