Vincent Levrat
Vincent Levrat, grew up in a small town in the countryside of Switzerland. After succeeded with honours the photography school of Vevey, he decided to pursue his path to the ECAL in Lausanne where he just obtained his Bachelor Degree with the Prix Elinchrom. His work has been shown in different collective exhibitions and publications.
Exploring the boundaries between sculpture and photography, Vincent likes to gets his hands dirty. Among all the wood cut and the nail hammered, what he likes the most is to make you scratch your head. Let’s face it; we all get bored on the internet. Remember those magic hours spent playing with a woodstick when you were just a kids? Vincent is calling that up.
Outburst
Vincent occupies a wasteland in order to make it his playground, his open air studio. This empty space with no function, unmanaged by social rules, appears as a space for freedom. The poor materials found on site becomes the source of creation, once triggered by the virtue of a childlike state of mind. Physical experimentation, craftsmanship and materiality are celebrated in the place, aiming to escape the virtual world and technologies.
