Assi / Joseph MEIDAN
1987/Ongoing
Working between object, space, and material research. His practice focuses on transformation — observing how materials shaped by construction, use, and time can be redirected through minimal intervention.
His work often begins with situations encountered in everyday environments: construction sites, industrial components, or standardized building systems. Through processes of collection, assembly, and displacement, these elements are recontextualized without erasing their origin.
Moving between unique pieces and evolving systems, his projects explore the moment where functional structures shift into objects of domestic or spatial presence. Light, support, and construction recur as central themes, approached as ongoing investigations rather than fixed forms.
Alongside independent works, he develops Brut Hardware, a modular aluminum framework conceived as an open structure capable of adapting across furniture, exhibition, and architectural contexts.

Couché de Soleil sur femme objet - Une proposition de Benjamin Fanni
'Si tout ce qui change lentement s’explique par la vie, tout ce qui change vite s’explique par le feu. Le feu est est ultra-vivant. Le feu est intime et il est universel.
Il vit dans notre coeur. Il vit dans le ciel. Il monte des profondeurs de la substance et s’offre comme un amour. Il redescend dans la matière et se cache, latent, contenu comme la haine et la vengeance. Parmis tout les phénomènes, il est vraiment le seul qui puisse recevoir aussi nettement les deux valorisations contraires: le bien et le mal.Il brille au Paradis.
Il brule à l’Enfer. Il est douceur et apocalypse.'
G.Bachelard
