Interns, Goliath Dyèvres and Gregory Chatonsky

To understand this art piece we have to go back to the artists' meeting and the way
the idea of the installation was born then developed by them as it is growing until this day.
Chatonsky and Dyèvres met in the Kujoyama Villa, which is an artistic residence in Japan,
and it is during a visit of the zen gardens in Kyoto that they found a portable temple, they
imagined that behind those temple’s doors, a world, much larger would be in it. They
describe it as a “world in a world”. That metatheatre was the beginning of their collaboration
in the making of the project interns..

It starts with unfinished objects, gray ones as they wanted something between an
utopia and a dystopia, not white nor black. A neutral world that is completed with numeric
augmentation, way more colored and alive. The sculpture is a gray concrete sculpture that is
3D printed and measures 1m by 1m and evolves through time.

The vision of the artists is a materialistic one, as they see everything as material,
even numeric and augmented reality.

It is a play with worlds that collide and complete themselves, between two realities;
one is focused around constant changes and another one way more stable, with solid bases
that don't need to take up space on earth.
In this idea of desire and rationality between the two sculptures; one being palpable and the
other one being a non palpable material, they link the artwork to mass productions and
consommation.
