Inspire: Michel Groisman

One of the most awesome things about the internet is how it can lead you down new rabbit holes of knowledge and inspiration. I’d never heard of Michel Groisman until today, when I saw the above image, uncredited, on a Tumblr blog. Intrigued by the medical-esque apparatus, I tried TinEye & Google’s reverse image search to find it’s source, an quickly found with not just the site of it’s creator, but a short video of the performance that this image is from.

Transference, duration of performance: 60 min. In a continuous movement I pass on the light from one candle to another and, blowing through a system of tubes, I can choose the candle I wish to put off.

I very much like these extensions/equipment strapped to his body, and the unnatural movements it forces from him. Going to spend the rest of my evening checking out other works by Michel now.
