ROZÉO

RoZéo is a living installation to be observed unhurriedly, a deep breath with the sky as a horizon. The bodies, perched on delicate metal poles, sway gently, as if moved by an imperceptible breath. Their swaying evokes the reed beds of the Camargue.
RoZéo does not seek to be a show, but a deep breath, a serene dialogue with the landscape, a move towards the poetics of lightness, softness and contemplation. RoZéo is what we can discover unexpectedly during a stroll, what emerges there on the horizon, those air bodies gently tossed by the breeze, at times shaken by the wind.

Gratte Ciel is a company run by Stéphane Girard and Camille Beaumier. Place des Anges (2007) marked the beginning of their career, a proposal that has been performed in Montreal, Stockholm, London, Buenos Aires, Adelaide, Saint Petersburg and Kiev. They later premiered works such as La Grappe, Du Nuage, Rouge and Fuego. In addition to their international agenda and large-format projects, Gratte Ciel has maintained a line of creations and proposals in situ, rather local in nature and linked to their social network. Gratte Ciel’s team currently comprises about fifty women and men who continue to imagine organic and human frescoes, monumental installations and large aerial structures.
