St John's Churchyard, London Waterloo Festival 2024

the installation is composed of wood, bamboo, and various elements gathered during my travels and different art residencies. It represents a landscape of both spatial and temporal exploration, playfully connecting different geographical and temporal experiences from my work, reminiscent of a circus construction.

These "bits and pieces" are assembled to form a vibrant, abstract composition that reflects a journey of mental inspiration.

The installation is designed to interact with its environment, particularly through the bamboo element on the left, which is made from pieces of shinai (a type of bamboo sword used in Kendo) and is tied to the surrounding foliage. As the leaves and branches sway in the wind, the bamboo structure moves as well, creating a gentle, rhythmic motion in the heart of the sculpture.

Ephemeral Drawing

(Version française en dessous)

The "Ephemeral Drawing" installation uses the kiosk in the Square des Batignolles as its backdrop. A crystal marquee housing an abstract spectacle of colors and fluid shapes, lines of motion where shadows and lights intertwine, creating an ephemeral drawing. This installation reinterprets the artist’s drawings/paintings and three-dimensional work. Painted and cut wooden shapes with organic inspirations, along with found objects, create the dynamic and rhythmic visual of the kiosk. The elements hanging by threads recall and draw inspiration from puppet theaters and the merry-go-rounds of Parisian gardens.

As a visual playground, the installation invites a poetic observation that resonates with the beauty of the surrounding garden, the movement of the trees, and the flow of visitors.

This exhibition is supported by the city of Paris.

Dessin éphémère

L’installation "Dessin éphémère" prend le kiosque du Square des Batignolles comme toile de fond. Un chapiteau de cristal abritant un spectacle abstrait de couleurs et de formes fluides, de lignes de mouvement où se mêlent ombres et lumières, formant un dessin éphémère

Cette installation est une relecture des dessins/peintures, et du travail en trois dimensions de l’artiste. Des formes aux inspirations organiques en bois peint et découpé, des objets de récupération glanés, créent le visuel dynamique et rythmé du kiosque. Les éléments suspendus par des fils sont une réminiscence et une inspiration des théâtres de marionnettes et des manèges des jardins parisiens.

Espace de jeu visuel, l’installation est une invitation à une observation poétique en écho à la beauté du jardin environnant, au mouvement des arbres et à la circulation des visiteurs.

Wind Installation  (風の木,Kaze no ki)

 Working outwards from a central open space in a field overlooking the view of Mount Fuji and the valley, Anne Leigniel effectively draws lines with 4 metre high bamboo rods that are attached to white chords… Arranged in a circle like the moon, these extending rods and lines “fish” their way high up onto tree branches and some lines go out from the bamboo shoots in the landscape…. The direction is multi-directional and like antenna, these delicate lines emanating out from a central point… are equally influenced by the movement of the trees in response to the winds… As each tree varies in size, the effects of the wind vary… Each line moves differently, in variation with the others… As Leigniel comments, “The sculpture moves like a mobile that links the earth to the sky. It’s a playful process, a poetics of balance, that expresses a fragility of being ” Trees, a generator of the oxygen necessary for life, become the media, the actor, and the agent of change and conductor of this visual natural artwork.
