French Artist Michel Blazy Plays With Foam in a Monastery

A medieval monastery located a stone’s throw away from the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, Le Collège des Bernardins, is a beautifully renovated Cistercian monument dating from 1248 that once served as an intellectual center where monks, teachers, and students lived and worked. Today it stands as a Catholic institution regularly featuring contemporary art exhibitions and conferences, while conducting research on religion and the arts.

It is in this setting that French contemporary artist, Michel Blazy, presents a tongue-in-cheek contrast of an installation of ephemeral nature, a work that is impossible to preserve, in a revered site of admirable architectural and historical conservation.

“The Blind Self-Portrait Machine by Matt Mets and Kyle McDonald uses a camera, computer, some software, an x-y plotter, and your human hand with a pen to generate a pseudo-blind contour drawing of the person in front of the camera.”
