The duo of artists called WASHMACHINE and the artist designer Céline Shen have collaborated on the Nebula project, a three-panel collection of works combining a universe of garment sculptures formed of atmospheric layers.
The Nebula project was born of a quest to experiment with form and matter, voluptuousness and combustion. This triptych unveils a chemical concoction creating atmospheres embodying the representation of three eras: the imaginary of an original world in formation whose vapours are tinged with the glow of the rainbow, a modern age where the element of metal predominates, and the era of plastic, the standard emblem of advanced industrial societies.
Supple by nature, they improvise themselves into moving rigidity, where smoke can flow like a vaporous river, a floating being, master of the elements. Between the real and the imaginary, they navigate between the familiarity of earthly elements and the impossibility of the images they compose. Together, they reveal an ethereal atmosphere, where gravity seems disrupted, where the astral and reality can blend.
