Introduction
The artists met during their studies at the Villa Arson, Nice, where they graduated. They have been collaborating together on different projects since 2006. They simultaneously produce both personal and duo projects. Their duo deal with the problematic of sculpture as a "work event" and also by a penchant for the future of industrial objects.
