Samuel Rousseau

Born in 1971, he lives and works in Grenoble (France).

Samuel Rousseau designs playful and poetic devices based on everyday objects and video, the basis of which is often a play on words ("Tu chantes comme une casserole" where the cookware actually starts to sing) or on disruptions of scale (a miniature character drowns in a bathtub or tries to climb a staircase step...).

Three works by Samuel Rousseau are presented in the streets of Cahors: a gargling manhole, a bird-man perched in a tree, and a traffic light diverted from its original function.
