Matière Noire is a Paris-based creative studio leading new approaches to spacial design. Built on a network of parallel disciplines, our operation cultivates ambivalence, using observational methods to ground its intuitive impulses. Matière Noire is driven by an appetite for the undefined, the hypothetical, the intangible. Its process celebrates unexpected derivations, developing them into bespoke applications of cross-cultural collaboration.

Scenography

An elevated platform with dove-white carpeting frames the labyrinthine panels displaying Pol Taburet’s canvases and imposing a subtly symbolic step, the physical reposition necessary to anamorphosis. Gleaming fountains eaten away by rust reveal refracted fragments of the paintings’ ghostly figures intertwined with the clinical glow of LED stripes, complementing the perspectival shift prompted by the deck. An exercise in side-gazing, Matière Noire’s dynamic scenography offers a layered wandering through a bureaucratic ambiance of corporate constriction, allowing for the works to become contrasting elements in a display of dissension.
