Daniel Firman

by Daniel Firman, Isabelle Bertolotti, Jeanne Briand, Raphael Gatel, Marilou Laneuville, Thierry Raspail, Gloria Sensi, Clara Ustinov

This study of contemporary sculpture focuses on the human body and its relationship to precarious balance. Anonymous figures and everyday objects are utilised to investigate consumer society and movement through a formal language informed by the aesthetics of dance.

brief_description
French sculptor Daniel Firman (born 1966) explores the laws of physics by staging anonymous bodies in precarious balance, or by rotating a washing machine on itself at the speed of its wash cycle. Recently these works have begun to express Firman's interest in dance.
