Morphographic mutation
Emerging from the Imaginographes, the site of elastics is a cartography of morphographic mutations. The operation consists in inflicting twists and folds on loops which are transformed into other loops to constitute a writing of forms. A game without end or progression that forms an unfinished and unfinishable cartography of signs that can be spotted in nature, architecture, in fabric patterns, objects, a military stripe…
In this sense, they are like a universal language that everyone can understand. Installed in museums or offered as collaborative works, they invite the creation of links between this cartography and the representations found in all cultures.
– The example of Mucem, Marseille
From this point of view, the works present in the Mucem collections reveal representations that can be found everywhere. They provide an opportunity for site specific creation that literally weaves links between interlaced shapes found throughout the museum’s collection.
By associating elements traced in very different objects, the artist allows an unexpected reinterpretation of the collections, re-playing the organisation of the museum by destabilising it.
A completely subjective kind of poetry is thus revealed, made up of unexpected connections between the weaving of a carpet beater and the decorations of a trooper’s cap, for example, opening up a new horizon towards a very visual, literal and evident surrealism.
of
To act on the world disorders to detect other layouts and create a new poetic order. An original cartography of a planet without places, Attraction is a project-manifesto to take ownership of our environment, to think by ourselves.
A position. To disrupt our convictions, resist ready-to-think and open up new alternatives.
A protocol of the sight. The world is what we see of it and what is invisible to us. In order to fully comprehend it, it is needed to take into account the multiplicity of points of views that we have.
Principles. Repartir de zéro, observer, expérimenter, tenter, créer.
A rhizome artwork made of accumulations, hybridizations, and mutations that constantly slip between various artistic fields.
A work in progress in constant evolution that shapes a landscape with infinite borders.

Actions / Reactions: Attraction is a project with variable geometry designed to take place on the scale of an entire city in theatres, squares, museums, on the ring or in parks. So many playgrounds that invite to create partnerships, to move the public in spaces off the beaten track and can give rise to new in situ creations.

Artist coming from the circus world, Johann Le Guillerm studied at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque, he toured with Archaos, la volière Dromesko, co-founded the Cirque O. In 1994, he founded his own company and created a first solo show, Où ça ? , which toured five years. Johann Le Guillerm was awarded in 1996 with the Grand Prix National du Cirque, in 2005 with the Grand Prix des Arts du Cirque SACD and in 2017 the Grand Prix SACD. After a round-the-world trip during which he faces the imbalances of handicapped, traumatized and autarkic worlds, in 2001 he embarked on the Attraction project to take a 360° look at the world. The project led him to explore sculpture, installation, performance, conference and show. A multidisciplinary trajectory he calls practice of the range of points of view.
Since 2011, Johann Le Guillerm is supported and hosted by the Mairie de Paris at the Jardin d’Agronomie Tropicale – Paris, for a creative research residency.

What's circus ? by Johann Le Guillerm
The company works on create mediation tools with a direct link to the artistic project. The setting up of workshops, experiences, professional meetings or specific builds itself into a joint project with cultural structures to say, to do, to feel through experimentation, the gaze, the movement. Thus, projects are built that nurture and are nurtured on long term by the mediation project.
