Les Capes

This catalog presents a series of vases produced by designer matali crasset during a residence at the national porcelain manufactory of Sèvres, in France. Polaroids of vases photographed by Julien Carreyn, drawings by crasset and miscellaneous documents. Matali Crasset and Julien Carreyn have known each other for years. During a residency at the Manufacture in Sèvres, France, the designer invited the artist and photographer Julien Carreyn to capture his current project, the capes, a collection of porcelain vases. This book proposes a dialogue and a game of four hands around these vases, the first vases of matali crasset, and drawings made for an exhibition in Monaco. A series of polaroids and digital photographs of Julien Carreyn come to dialogue with these drawings of matali crasset, as well as with sketch drawings from the catalog of the Manufacture. The absence of text feeds on a railway that develops a narration between these elements. More than reveal the vases, the images turn, they are keys, clues that are given.
