Clémence Torres: Sculpture, Space, and the Body

Clémence Torres, who graduated recently from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon, crafts sculptures and writings inspired by Minimalism that delve into social dynamics and human connections. She utilizes industrial materials such as glass and metal, modifying Le Corbusier's Modulor to fit her own dimensions. At BF15 in Lyon, her piece "balancement de la ligne" showcases mirrors suspended at her height alongside a wall treated with transparent vinyl binder. In "ponctuation," a motorized bar traverses her eye level. Her installations feature handrails leading to dead ends and glass plates alluding to Dan Graham's pavilions. In "communes mesures," she illustrates human interactions across eight tables, drawing from anthropologist Edward T. Hall, paired with accompanying texts.
