Biography



Specialized in big-scale installations and inspired by the ‘Pataphysics movement, Vincent Grange questions the norms of our heteronormative society by creating alternate realities. The architecture, artifacts and different machines he creates, invite visitors to interpret each design decision, and decipher the - often absurd and camp - story he is trying to tell.

He co-founded and is part of Collectif Kimera, in charge of ->Espace Dukat, an artist-run art space based in Geneva. In parallel, he has also co-founded ->Souplex Atelier with friend and colleague Tanguy Troubat, where he works as a scenographer and art director.
