MAIN STAGE

by Manon Viratelle X Cristina Gusano

Main Stage is a meeting of contrasts where lines intersect and materials reveal their essence. Manon incorporates ceramic fragments from Cristina Gusano, whose practice explores geometric forms, lines, and light in unique pieces, creating a sonic dialogue between materials.
Textiles drift lightly in the wind while ceramics hold a commanding presence. In the solarium, their universes merge, continuing the Extended Play project.
Fabrics flutter, ceramics clink, and volumes respond to one another. The space becomes a performance of movement and stillness, inviting the audience to pause and experience a moment suspended under the sun.

Textile mechanic, Manon connects her background in textile design with
the passion her father passed on to her, automotive mechanics, which
allows her to build and refine her own creative processes.
Her practice is rooted in diversion and reuse, working with materials
collected from garages, scrapyards, and the textile industry.
For this installation, she integrates ceramic fragments from Cristina, whose work explores geometric forms, lines, and light in unique pieces, inspired by repetition and road signage, creating material dialogue.
