Laurent Perbos


Aire 2005, Gazon synthétique, filet de tennis. Dimensions réglementaires d'un court de tennis soit 23,774 x 10,973 m
Vues d'exposition à l'Université de Provence, Parvis du Centre des Lettres et Sciences Humaines

A French artist that I like for his joyful but shifted critic of social activities and entertainment. His area of predilection is sport. He reappropriates objects and their use and at the end we are confused on how we can make use of them. Thank you Eness for the link.

The beautiful people



The American Look (1958) discovered at paper lily.
America lifestyle in the 50's with an *idealistic* sense for design. A must see for any designer.

In France, we have Mon Oncle made in 1958 by Jacques Tati who portrays magnificently a materialistic lifestyle contrasted with a Mr. Hulot who struggles with postwar France's mindless obsession with modernity and American-style consumerism. I recommend anyone to watch any of Jacques Tati's movie. Delight for sure. A must see for anybody!

The following is an extract from Playtime




Mon oncle

I'd like to finish by a welcome into modernity by Jacques Tati. Awesome.
