Residency exhibition – Hors saison | Pablo Bras | Fondation Martell

The result of a period of residency at the Fondation, Hors Saison is a carte blanche for designer Pablo Bras. A circular investigation of the phenomena at play, this project questions the ability of design to organize the invisible flows of air, light and heat to become genuine design materials, on the scale of both object and habitat.
Channelling the thermal and energetic forces of the exhibition space, the designer presents an arrangement of rooms constituting a fluid environment, reactive to the three seasons through which his installation will pass.
Through architectural gestures designed to make the atmospheric qualities of the space sensitive to the seasons and our needs, the project invites us to feel the variations in temperature through systems of air currents, ventilation and simple heating and cooling techniques.
Open and reproducible, the objects, scattered throughout the space, respond to each other within a dynamic of flows, recreating micro-climates, to form a project capable of questioning the ecology of a place and the modalities of our comfort.
