Pika-Monuments by Pierre Kauffmann

Pierre Kauffmann was born in 1973 and has grown up in Alsace (East of France). He’s studied ne arts in Mulhouse’ s artschool where he’s obtained two diplomas in visual arts (1994 DNAP : Diplôme National d’Arts Plastiques, 1996 DNSEP : Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique). Based in Paris, he was professionally launched into the show business and the street show where he’s learnt the techniques to creates costumes, sets, and so on.

It was in 2008, that he’s combined techniques and mediums he likes in a personal project to start the Pika-monuments collection. The artist travels all over the world to search for architectures. Once the site has been selected, he develops plans and volumes adaptable to the human body. He creates structures / objects / suits that he stages in situ. His work led him to explore the graphics of the photography as well as video projection. From these series of photos, he builds a universe of playful and decorative objects, pushing farther and farther the declension of his own researches.

The architecture, sewing, performance, photography, graphic design and art installation con rm its major tools of creation. For more than 7 years, The Pika-monuments collection stays his key project. His work was presented in personal and collective exhibitions in Paris and in France.
