Artists-in-residence Suejin Jung and Timothée Lambert have collaborated on the piece “Jeux d’eau” by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) to create a short animated film.
“Two years ago, I started research on the topic of birds and fish, in observing their differences, nature, genre, and violence. The research focused on literature, drawings, paintings, cartoons, and animation. When my friend Suejin asked me to collaborate on Jeux d’eau by Maurice Ravel, I saw an opportunity to develop my research farther and utilize my knowledge of graphics and animation techniques. This music reminds me of The Legend of Zelda, a Japanese video game I liked to play since my childhood, and it was a great pleasure to work on this composition.” ~Timothée Lambert

Born in 1997, Timothee Lambert began his artistic studies in the preparatory class of ENSBA Lyon, before starting at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. After photography and stage design, he went back to his childhood obsession: drawings, stories, and lettering. His current works are taken and composed from diaries, impulsive ideas, in order to become comfortable with them and to create intimacy with the reader.
