About

I seek to rethink forms and their materials, to recondition the primary functionality of certain objects, and to imagine a universe in which the invisible becomes a source of creation.

I enjoy combining materials through contrasts, playing with their physical properties, their contexts, and their scales to make viewers aware of forms that are strange yet familiar. I respond to the chance occurrences that emerge from experimentation, giving birth to hybrids that balance between fragility and robustness, volume and line, everyday object and fantastical imagination.

This most often translates into sculpture and installations, around which gravitate different mediums such as video, drawing, and painting. I enjoy using various materials such as textiles, ceramics, plaster, latex, concrete, and cosmetic products to express fragility and the ephemeral.

Agathe Plouzennec is a graduate of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam with a bachelor's degree in art and design. She positions herself within contemporary art through experimental research on materials and forms. She explores themes of empathy, identity, the abject, space, and the senses.
