Iris Garagnoux’s practice is focused on the plasticity of the human body, which is torn between a deep desire to reconnect with nature but also evolving with new technologies. Painting on the floor allows the artist to create a repertoire of instinctive gestures, inspired by her experience in gymnastics and trance, which then she transcribes into sculptural and performative fragments such as haptic and immersive extensions. By layering organic and synthetic elements, new semiotic colours and textures appear considering the contemporary societal relationships and the tension between the living and the non living. By exploring Deleuze and Guattari’s concept «Un corps sans organe» (A body without Organs), she seeks to make visible an organic interiority which is never fixed reflecting transgenerational legacies and contemporary human conditions. Garagnoux is interested in transcribing states of in-betweenness, vulnerability, and corporal energetic fluids, emanating from the physical and intangible worlds.
