Design Paradise

François Chambard

Design Paradise' is a tale of the life and spirit of objects. Despite their very material and physical quality, objects help us access an invisible world. We can understand the phenomena of granting agency to objects through the study of philosophy and phenomenology. Anthropology and archaeology demonstrate that since we started making objects, we have invited material cognition and consciousness. As objects became more and more complex, they have slowly escaped human control. We made objects. Objects made us. The project is presented through animation. In addition to being a moving image technique, animation is an ideal animist tool, lending an “anima” to objects, bringing things to life.
