Philippe COTTENCEAU

(France)

 

Since more than twenty years, Philippe Cottenceau has a practically exclusive relation with kite. A relation "which puts to us remotely, us offers to the lapse of memory us same, create like a kind of vacuum in us and allows us at the most point tobe receptive in the world ".

Built with paper and bamboo, fragile and purified, of an almost primitive esthetics, the kite of Philippe Cottenceau are the fruits of a research whichleads to a harmony between the form, the color, flight of the kite (its quintessence, he said) and the text sometimes printed top.

So, this support was binding to Philippe, tracing "an extremely narrow way at the same time, as thin as the wire which connects to us. »
