Yann Toma

With projects always anchored in a societal context, Yann Toma's fundamental idea is to rebuild the link.

By salvaging material from former electric power company Ouest-Lumière in the early 1990s, he has appropriated a symbolic network, an industrial infrastructure which he turned into his research territory and the very matter of his activity.

He appropriated a symbolic network, an infrastructure coming from factories of which he made his territory of research and the subject of his activity.

This focus on collective energy and solidarity, after the nuclear disaster of Fukushima in this case, is the tone of Toma's favorite topic.

A monography, entitled "Yann Toma" (texts, conversations, 700 photos and illustrations), went out to September 2011 which presents the extent of his work and artistic flux of the President for life of Ouest-Lumière.
