A visual and sonic immersion into the ordinary car with Alain Bublex.
Video, installation, performance. Between design, fiction, and history, visual artist Alain Bublex turns the ordinary car into a sensitive narrative. Using 3,000 documents and archives that have been entirely redrawn, he reconstructs the evolution of automotive innovation, revealing its detours, intuitions, and discreet inventions. Beneath the arches of l'église Saint-Martin-des-Champs, his drawings are projected across several screens, with no text or dates, offering visitors a first reading that is purely aesthetic. Gradually, these rolling silhouettes take on meaning through a “conversation” broadcast through headphones, which gradually reveals the vehicle’s origins and emergence. Present among the audience, Alain Bublex extends this narration live: he speaks, draws, moves through the space, and engages with spectators. A living, interactive installation where artistic perspective, creativity, and improvised exchanges come together to create a unique collective experience. A truly living experience at the heart of the MuAM collections. Alain Bublex is a French artist blending design, architecture, and contemporary art. He reinvents everyday objects and spaces through drawings, films, and installations, creating alternative narratives that explore innovation, the city, and the future in a poetic and immersive way.
