Gaëtane Thevenon's work revolves around the relationship between us and our objects. She is fascinated by the links and kinds of attachment that we develop for and through them all along our lives. Through her productions, Gaëtane seeks to encourage each user to experience it in their own way and become an integral part of the life if their object, and vice-versa. Convinced that these links are essentials and that they help us to shape our identities, she strives to create efficient objects to encourage the users to put a strong emotional load on them. Gaëtane is interested in pedagogy, appropriation, and ways to think outside the box in our relationship to the world while taking into account the evolution of society and current social and climate issues.
