Samuel Moncharmont
Session #3
20 September to 20 December
Samuel Moncharmont was born in 1981, he lives and works in Lyon (FR).
“Music as a backdrop is the starting point or anchor of the work. Popular music serves as both a pretext and raw material for constructing visual or sonic spaces. As it embodies a ‘myth,’ music—whether a song or a refrain—undergoes a process of adaptation, translation, or transposition through sound, image, installation, or video.
Samuel Moncharmont collects and archives; he stacks and compiles; he reenacts cult and quasi-religious references, dissecting and deconstructing them. He works with their flaws and dissonances. A system of rewriting is in motion.” – Céline Ohanessian
