In 2022, during his last stay at the house where he grew up, Est Roman Coulon began copying the seven-volume novel In Search of Lost Time onto sheets of paper, which he then glued together. The result of this purposeless practice, carried on by the artist to this day, is an ever-growing leporello that holds the memory of the places where it takes shape day by day. This paradoxical object, whose only value lies in the time spent creating it, becomes the heart of an intimate ritual that, by activating emotional and bodily memory, transforms the leporello into a gateway to other places and times.

Bio

Est Roman Coulon (he, him) was born in Lyon (France) in 1994 and has been living in Italy since 2014.

After studying Theatre and Performing Arts at IUAV University of Venice, he started working as a director, performer and curator within two groups founded in Venice in 2019: Call Monica and Extragarbo.

In parallel with these collective experiences, both characterized by great formal inventiveness and by a committed approach of artistic practice, Est Roman Coulon has developed a transdisciplinary research which borrows from conceptual art, literature and scenic language. Focusing especially on multimedia techniques, performative practices and minor gestures (such as the act of copying), he challenges the conventions that draw distinctions between different artistic forms and determine the value of an artwork.
