“I am always looking for new tools to experiment with, and the times we live in are particularly conducive to this. “I try to carry out an approach that is both conceptual and technical at the same time,” says the artist.
Its deepest fascination lies in this almost transcendental effect on the viewer. His work evokes the beauty of the imperceptible and the laws of physics, creating a new world of images and narrations, transporting the viewer to another place and inviting contemplation and introspection. Guillaume Marmin employs light, sound and movement in complex and evocative relationships that redefine traditional ideas of sculpture, space and time. “We seek out artists from disciplines as diverse as gastronomy, music and digital art, who harness great imagination to meticulous artistic processes, creating works that expand our minds, challenge our senses and trigger strong emotions.” “Through Made of Makers we are looking for different perspectives on how the practices of watchmaking, art and other creative disciplines can bring value to lived experiences,” says Catherine Rénier, CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. With intense respect for the person in the process – the creativity of the mind and the skill of the hand – the programme focuses on world-class creators from outside the world of watchmaking, who share the Maison’s values and whose work explores new forms of expression through different and often unexpected materials and media. The work will make its world debut in Dubai in February, in conjunction with The Stellar Odyssey exhibition following its first introduction in the Vallée de Joux in May 2022.Įnriching the dialogue that has long existed between horology, artisanship and art, Made of Makers is a profound expression of the core principles that have defined Jaeger-LeCoultre for 190 years: creativity, expertise and precision. Among the highlights of The Stellar Odyssey, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s celebration of the relationship between astronomical phenomena and watchmaking, the Swiss Maison presents a new art installation Passengers: Through Time specially commissioned from the French visual artist, Guillaume Marmin under its Made of Makers programme.
