LA CASA
- exhibition-event of the winners of the Prize Carré sur Seine, from February 3 to 24, 2023 -
It is a trunk that conceals "The Fluid Worlds", in other words, the backstage of the studio, the mood board of his projects, his collaborations with the entertainment industry, and the plans of pieces in progress. A trunk which testifies to the "video passage", that is to say the phase of work where all the images become by the animation "a visual matter". After that, he prints, he explains, "this phenomenon on the canvas by a digital process that freezes the temporal spaces, models and materializes a world fluidized by light and time."
His work resembles a revisited form of modeling, of cutting out the real that one would easily associate with choreographies, formal hallucinations as if he were following with his eyes the movements of his cortex. On this moving and cerebral dance-floor, the sinuosity of Benoît Carpentier's cut-out and entwined images comes from their transformation by technology (video, printing, cutting, weaving, etc.) which tracks the light in an elusive quest: to make the time that passes perceptible.
