Hugo DUINA (France)
After spending 11 years training as a carpenter with the Compagnons du Devoir, I decided to complete my formation in Germany to study Craft Design at the Gut Rosenberg Academy. The openness to the history and theory of design that this new study offers, advantageously completes my professional background inherited from the “Compagnonnage”. I discovered architects, anthropologists and designers such as Peter Zumthor, Tim Ingold or Antòn Alvarez, who have had a lasting influence on my practice.
The great freedom offered by this teaching allows me to explore unfamiliar matters: fabric, metal, clay but also digital materials. A great economy of means infuses each of my pieces, like MOLLY which uses only a cardboard box as a starting point for creation. These materials, so simple at first sight, reveal all their richness during periods of mutation.
I like to follow the material, to question it in order to establish a dialogue that is conducive to discovery while preserving its essence. This is how I develop my projects, going from the piece of furniture to the drawings and audio-visual creations.
Molly
“yes he said I was a flower of the mountain yes so we are flowers all a womans body yes that was one true thing he said in his life and the sun shines for you today yes that was why I liked him because I saw he understood or felt what a woman is and I knew I could always get round him and I gave him all the pleasure I could leading him on till he asked me to say yes and I wouldnt answer first only looked out over the sea and the sky I was thinking of so many things he didnt know” (Ulysse, James Joyce)
Molly is an audiovisual piece resulting from the collaboration between the composer and the designer.
The musical work begins with a piezo microphone applied to the throat of a woman talking. Her voice, but also all the noises generated, by the handling of the microphone, are thus recorded. Then, the sounds are reworked, by computer. The sound matter is fragmented, modified until it becomes unrecognizable. Then this one, is rearranged again, into a coherent composition.
The images in the video were captured by filming the inside of a cardboard box. Painted black, it has a few holes and contains reflectives surfaces. The light rays entering the box are reflected and fragmented, sometimes colored by red or green filters placed on the openings. Editing software then makes it possible to reverse, duplicate and distort these images, reinforcing the kaleidoscopic games sketeched during the shooting.
