Suspension #8 - Paper, mobile by Camille Tan

Camille Tan was born in 1990 in Rennes. A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Bretagne in 2014 after five years of study in Rennes, he very early on grounded his artistic practice in a reflection on matter, time, and the body. His work lies at the intersection of sculpture, design, and craft. For the past ten years, Camille has been exploring the memory of objects, slow transformations, and invisible tensions. Wood, stone, and metal are his primary materials. He chooses them for their strength, their fragility, and their capacity to tell a story. He explores changes of state, natural alterations, and the subtle ruptures caused by time. In 2017, he moved to Brussels and specialized in woodworking. There, he developed a practice in which the object takes shape through balance, constraint, and suspension. Starting in 2021, he created his first mobiles or "suspensions," hybrid, floating works. In these levitating compositions, forces interact, oppose each other, and support one another. Each element seems alive, organic, almost liquid, ready to tip over or maintain the fragile balance of the whole.
