The undisputed king of toys, the teddy bear descends on the Musée des Arts décoratifs to tell his incredible story. Born at the very beginning of the 20th century, he quickly earned a place for himself in the hearts of children, dethroning toys whose existence dated back to Antiquity, like dolls or animals on wheels. Since then, the teddy bear has become the quasi-universal symbol of childhood, and synonymous with tenderness and gentleness. But how has the former king of animals, revered for his strength and feared for his ferocity, transformed into the most popular of toys?

AAM AASTHA in Arles. SOUVENIR D’ALSACE in Strasbourg.

14 June 2023

You should find a moment to visit the “SOUVENIR D’ALSACE” exhibition at the Alsatian Museum in Strasbourg. It’s a new experience for my work, with a project developed since 2018 around very varied productions such as chromo on ceramics, engraved glass, animated film and even gingerbread… To explore Alsace’s identity and its complex history, I had to look back to the end of the 19th century through to the First World War. It’s a Silhouette approach, as with LA SUITE BASQUE, LA PREHISTOIRE or L’EPOPEE DE JEANNE D’ARC. The book was published by the Musées de Strasbourg. The book on LA SUITE BASQUE was published this year by L’artière. Finally, AAM AASTHA will be exhibiting at the Rencontres photographiques d’Arles from July to September. An opportunity to meet and present these three new books…

Two years.

Lots of experimentation. Less travel, more concentration here in Rouen, France. Still working on Souvenir d’Alsace (Exhibition mid 2023) and AAM AASTHA, India (next book and exhibition). If you want to see me, come and meet me.
