Rooted in an approach informed by the anthropology of techniques, Yvan Rochette develops a practice at the intersection of installation, performance, and sculpture.
His work focuses on gestures, know-how, and production processes, understood as active elements capable of transforming our relationships to matter, the body, and the environment.
By diverting and reappropriating various modes of production, he conducts a research attentive to the effects generated by techniques themselves. His work questions the agency of materials, their singularities, and the dynamic relationships that techniques and the technologies derived from them allow us to weave with reality.
These experiments become analytical tools through which he explores how systems of belief, norms, and uses are constructed systems that shape the ways we think, perceive, and act, while simultaneously nourishing our imaginaries.
His current research focuses on certain forms of consumption, the development of performative rituals, and the use of contemporary technologies. He examines the symbolic meanings we attribute to images and technical dispositifs, considered as active vectors of belief and representation.
