EDS collectif is an artist's twosome which works on the passages between reality and fiction, based on the places in which they work. The data collected in the immediate surroundings of their works serve as the stuff of installations and performances in which they incarnate deliberately farcical characters. Formed in 2004, EDS collectif at that time included three artists: Eric Le Vergé, Didier Thibault and Stéphane Tesson. The acronym EDS, based on the initials of the artists's first names, would consequently become Espaces et Déplacements Sporadiques. One of their forms of modus operandi involves transforming the elements which they come across by making them swing towards other meanings.The notion of “space” is a dimension to which they pay real attention, be it in the construction of the environment of their performances, or in the exhibitions which they take part in. The “déplacements” or shifts are to be understood in the physical and mental sense. They introduce movements in the manner of wandering and nomadism. Objects, deeds, environments and language are thus subject to shifts and appropriations.“Sporadiques” signifies what appears here and there and from time to time, in a regular way. |
