Stumbled Upon Site of the Day… Baptiste Debombourg

March 10, 2010

I stumbled upon the website of  Baptiste Debombourg today.  I adore the Parisian installation artist’s work so much that I friended him on facebook. We’ll see how that goes.

Below, see one of his pieces made up of STAPLES!

“Baptiste Debombourg’s works look into the relationship between common objects, everyday life events and art. Generally he works with sculptures and installations, but he also uses other media such as video, photography, drawing or performance. When working with video, Debombourg examines people’s hobbies, like in “Baby Bottle” where weekend racers use cars cut in half. In this way, ordinary events and discrete people’s interests are raised to a kind of heroic level.”-Unknown

Here’s his “Exploding Wall”:
