Thomas Annaheim Lambert
Fun Planet

In this series, I have appropriated the aptly named FUN PLANET, a leisure center that has been abandoned for ages, to turn it into a stage, a performance space. I want to question the white cube of contemporary art. With the help of a few companions, I am embarking on an action that is both titanic and absurd, in whom I am repainting this place in order to make it my own, to experiment with light and white, to dimension my mental and concrete space. These images show this process: how do you make your stage, your performance space? How to appropriate places that do not belong to us a priori? Is the white cube in the gallery, not just a ready-made, like this place, that you just have to repaint to make it look like one? What does this cube make appear or disappear? What is the place of the author and the viewer?

Thomas Annaheim Lambert

(Lausanne, 1990) trained, after studying acting in Paris, as a photographer at CEPV. Following his training, he worked freelance for three years before graduating from the formation supérieure en photographie (CEPV). He is currently studying at HEAD. His projects deal with the theme of time, intimacy, and the ordinary, everyday life with an aesthetic that claims to be non-commercial.

Thomas Annaheim Lambert ci porta a sperimentare le tappe della trasformazione di «FUN PLANET». Non-luogo in un centro ricreativo abbandonato, trasformato in luogo … espositivo. A differenza di un cubo bianco concepito solamente per delle mostre, uno spazio che assume una nuova funzione, porta con se delle tracce di carattere e unicità. L’artista tramite la riappropriazione in libertà di un luogo, decide di escludere o includere gli elementi esistenti, che diventano poi parte dell’opera. L’allestimento diventa un’attività stimolante ma anche divertente. L’artista con un tocco d’ironia lo conferma, dimostrando ancora una volta che con creatività tutti gli spazi possono essere trasformati in contenitori per l’arte.
