Denis Savary is also showing drawings at Centre d'art Le Lait in Castres.

Born in 1981 in Granges-Marnand (Switzerland), he lives in Lausanne (Switzerland).

 

Denis Savary is involved with an allusive and incomplete art, but it was first of all through the use of video that Denis Savary came to notice: his films, often using static shots, akin to snapshots, hesitating between suspense, passive expectation and contemplation, strive to use the infra-thin and unnoticed areas of reality.

 

A word about your artistic proposal?

To start with, an exhibition devised around the figure of Ferdinand Ferber (1872-1936), a pioneering French aviator who died in an aircraft accident on the ground. Then, a fictional pretext in which the Toulouse link-up is seen like an aircraft, the Croix-Baragnon, the captain's point of fall. On the ground, busts on pedestals of different heights, made based on the paintings of Luc Andrié. On the walls, three TV sets broadcast the video Belvédère . On the first floor, a video projection: Manches à air , plus the soundtrack of an unfinished project showing a group of musicians (Guggenmusique) scattered in hot air balloon gondolas. Last of all, a meeting with Le Bain au soir d'été by Félix Vallotton
