Displacement, migration, refugees … a subjective approach.

Photo, series "AA lamps"
Three extinguished lamps are the models for a work of colored shadows.


Photo, series "intimacy"
Shadow and light on daily objects offer various atmospheres conducive to intimacy.


Photo, series "shadows al fresco"
Minimal arrangements of geometrical elements produce colored shadows on a natural rock wall, like a modern vision of prehistoric frescoes.
The photos were realized during the Global Nomadic Art Project, East Europe, in 2017, in the troglodytic village of Noszvaj, Hungary.


Photo, series "still life"
Shadows produced by a flashlight and a colored filter tell us stories we have to invent.

 

les Fujak, Olivier Huet and Margrit Neuendorf, are two visual artists working together and also on their own production.
Since 2006, they create land art, outdoor or indoor installations, in France and also in Europe [Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Spain], South Korea, Iran, United States ... mainly in the context of art residencies.

Margrit Neuendorf is a German visual artist living in France.Fashion design studies in Berlin.
Environmental concerns, human and nature are in the center of my eclectic artistic expression. Diverse techniques question "the nature of the body" and "the body of landscape".
Olivier Huet is a French visual artist, since 1987. Architectural studies in Paris, France.
10 years work in architectural and city planning fields. Several installations, performances... in urban context and land art.

 

Our collaborative creations refer to art and the place of human being in nature.
The principle of each intervention is based on a clear understanding of the local context, and refers to different approaches, which concern:
The inhabited landscape : the place of man in nature, the dialogue between culture and nature, and the dialogue between beings;
The observed landscape : how to invite a walker, a visitor, to look differently at this landscape. How do we capture his attention?
The virtual or fictional landscape : a fiction opens to questions about reality and truth and the way we make interpretations of what we see.
The revisited landscape : the subjective vision of a site based on feeling and sensuality where rule poetry, melancholy and dreaming.
Of course these different approaches to landscape are not separated from each other but tangled together in each intervention.
