LE CIRQUE DU CIEL
HERMÈS INDIA SUMMER 22
For our first collaboration with Hermes India I was inspired by the universe of Alexander Calder’s circus. I was fascinated by the movements and simplicity of form with wire and decided to add a touch of fabric. The idea that we could create a circus in the sky at different times of day or on a tornado amused me. I really wanted to keep the twists and disproportions we find in circus folks.
We have an elephant balancing act on a tornado with spinning plates
A Ballerina on a cloud spinning plates whilst a dog makes it rain
A tightrope walker with his head in the clouds
A Flying trapeze artist at dawn
A Horse canon ball in the night
A unicyclist in an Electric storm
