Éva Le Roi’s “Conditionnement”

February 10, 2013 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

Éva Le Roi is a very talented young artist and illustrator living and working in Bruxelles.

She’s recently collaborated with the Luxemburg Pavilion of the 13th Venice Biennale 2012 (Post-City) with a set of axonometric drawings, that you can see on N-D-L-R blog by Flavien Menu (who was also part of the curatorial team).

Conditionnement

“L’architecture est une histoire de frontières. Elle matérialise des rapports de dominance existants, par une division franche de l’espace. Les structures qui nous entourent s’imposent à nous de façon intrusive, pour rassurer, contrôler, contenir, séduire.
Elles reflètent notre mode de vie, le conditionnant directement.

La ville est à la fois territoire et population, cadre matériel et pesanteur des rapports sociaux.
C’est bien l’interaction même entre la bâti délimitant et le flux social conditionné qu’il convient d’étudier pour approcher sa réalité. Ouvrons l’enveloppe pour regarder à l’intérieur.”

“Architecture is a history of borders. It materializes existing power relations through a clear delimitation of space. The surrounding structures impose onto us in an intrusive way in order to reassure, control, contain, seduce.
They reflect our lifestyle, conditioning it directly.

The city is both territory and population, physical environment and gravity of social relations.
It is the interaction between the delimiting built environment and the conditioned social flow that should be studied to approach its reality. Open the envelope to look inside.”
