Stéphane Thidet

Stéphane Thidet (born 1974 in Paris, lives and works in Aubervilliers) collects anomalies that he creates himself. He determines to what measure – in the musical meaning of the term – and up to what point, a plastic artist has the power to transform a natural or manmade element. The displacements he makes, the recontextualiztions, the transmutations of matter, the reassemblies are consequently the subjects of situational recordings neutralized by the absence of affect. Introducing a pack of wolves into a park, making rain fall in a cabin, putting a seesaw under glass, recounting the “Evil” of villages: he creates the uninhabitable and the inhabitable in the end ignoring their usage.
