INTÉRIEURS 2011 AT ARTCURIAL BY JOSEPH DIRAND PHOTOGRAPHED BY ADRIEN DIRAND
THE ROOM IS AN ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS INSPIRED BY THE MAJOR ARTISTIC CURRENTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY SUCH AS SURREALISM, ARTE POVERA, MINIMALISM, LAND ART, & ARTISTS THAT EMBODY THOSE MOVEMENTS LIKE ROBERT MORRIS, JOSEPH BEUYS, JAMES TURRELL, DONALD JUDD, YVES KLEIN & RENÉ MAGRITTE.
THE HABITATION CELL COMBINES ALL THE FUNCTIONS OF A HOUSE INTO ABSTRACT MIRRORED BRASS MONOLITHS.
THIS SPACE IS ALSO A STUDY OF LIGHT AND HOW IT REVEALS SPACE; LIKE A PHOTOGRAPHIC DARKROOM IN WHICH THE IMAGE IS REVEALED BY THE PROJECTION OF LIGHT ONTO A SENSITIZED SURFACE.
