Alix Nicolas’ practice delves into one pivotal medium: paper. Questioning paper as a material in itself, more than a mere support, she manages to transform it into sculptural forms and environmental elements. With Le Songe d’Octavien, Alix Nicolas adapts her work Papier, a series of environmental interventions consisting in wrapping surfaces with paper paste. For this exhibition, she decides to envelop not only the space but also the human body, collaborating with performers from the Artist Commons and together exploring the possible relationship between this material, the body and its movements.
