Gallery Lot 10 is devoting a personal exhibition to Alexander Sirvin, an artist born in 1979 and working between Paris and Venice.
Between the real and the imaginary, he enjoys transcending disciplines to offer hybrid and playful scenarios mixing art and architecture.

His involvement in the city's underprivileged neighbourhoods gave birth to diverse public projects: “ECOBOX”, a participatory interface at La Chapelle in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, as well as to multiple projects, exhibits and revitalization studies mandated by the city in the business district of La Défense in partnership with the Lenoci-Guzzardi architecture firm.
His work questions the identity, territorial and intimate practices of our post-industrial societies.

Co-founder of the « 1980 » project based on transversality and the use of different languages at the moment of intervention, Alexandre Sirvin returns today with a personal production related to a reflection on the unconscious of the architect, heterotopia and other phantasmagoria.

« It should be a seductive task to re-establish in ourselves a life like a day in our childhood […]
It is therefore a question of rediscovering these dimensions of childhood. At a certain moment, before falling asleep, the imagination sometimes succeeds.
Suddenly it's all there once again […] The person incapable of evoking this, at will, should try to get refunded for their studies.
A good brain must be able to represent to itself all the fevers of childhood in all of its little details and with such an intensity that it provokes a fever. »
Karl Kraus, «Aphorisms»
