Happy Owners: Subjective architecture realty, a visual art exhibition by Soazic Guezennec from 26 February- 15 March at Art Gallery, Alliance Française de Trivandrum.
The exhibition will be inaugurated on 5.30pm, 26 February @ Art gallery, Alliance Française de Trivandrum.
Soazic Guezennec, French artist living in Mumbai, is opening a new kind of real estate, displaying imaginary architectural projects which reinstate untamed nature inside the city.
For this exhibition, the artist has created an imaginary real estate agency.
Noticing the gap between the concept of “Nature City” plugged by the real estate adverts and the reality, Soazic Guezennec designs architectural projects which take the real estate slogans at their word, creating a city where nature would reassert itself, in a poetic and sometimes violent way. It gives birth to exuberant creations where buildings turn into waterfalls, mushrooms invade the town, mountains fall from the sky like landscape prostheses. In order to make this utopia credible, the projects are described on the classic supports of the real estate communication: videos, brochures, plans, models and advertisement posters.
Visitors are invited to express their desires and habitat dreams, and are encouraged to become members of the community of these highly subjective constructions.
This exhibition has evolved as a result of Soazic Guezennec’s artistic residence in Kerala. She has exhibited her works as street art during the Kochi Biennale.
