In residency at the Maison Flottante in May 2025.
Antoine Lomenech is a designer-plastician from the Finistère region of France, whose work questions the logic of productivism and extractivism in a depleted world. In search of crossroads and bridges, he opens poetic breaches of collaboration with the living. The wind, the sea, the rain and the sun become shared elements and spaces of cohabitation, producing writings of the common. These protocols and low-tech devices - Les interprètes - translate these enamelled writings onto ceramics. Earthenware, stoneware and porcelain recovered from reuse structures - or composed from the remains of exhausted quarries - become artifacts that offer a new space for narrative and expression of what makes up the landscape.
Résidence Maison Flottante - Fluviography, at the crossroads of the commonplace
The river, in its silence and constant movement, is a space where the human and the living cross paths without ever really meeting. At the end of the residency at the floating house, low-tech floating devices will be built, inspired by the traditional Poses barge. These interpretative instruments, once immersed in the river, will capture these invisible imprints - the traces on the water’s surface, the patterns drawn by the boats or the discreet presence of living things - and will be able to poetically translate this silent dialogue in the basin of second-hand earthenware plates.
Meeting
Sunday, May 25, 3 to 6 p.m.
at the Maison Flottante, 52 Chemin du Halage, Poses - Normandie.
