"I once met someone who always carries a small color chart with her. She flips through it whenever she feels the need to refresh her vision. It doesn't matter what time of day it is. The changing lighting environment leads her to appreciate colors from a new perspective each time she reads it.

This encounter made me think of the sensation I had experienced one evening, looking out of an airplane window: it seemed to me that the frame, cutting out sections of twilight skies, offered me endless new palettes.

I have been cultivating the experience of nuances since I was little through the practice of marbling, a privileged time to let go where the gesture orchestrates chance.

The series "A sunset a day (keeps the doctor away)" combines these three stories: color, window and gesture.

I began these imaginary twilights on a foul-weather day, using a trivial marbling technique using ink and shaving cream. One diffuses into the other, and I coax this unlikely duo to move calmly within a defined framework.

The bad weather has turned into confinement. The restricted movements of this particular period made me want to create new colored windows, new openings on a random and controlled color chart inspired by sunsets."

Emilie Hirayama

Émilie Hirayama is interested in popular know-how and the heritage of common objects.

The question of waste particularly interests her. In 2020, she exhibited a monumental textile piece made from scraps from the luxury industry at the Biennale Emergences and initiated collaborations with various stakeholders in industrial territories to recycle the waste resulting from their production.
