Milène Guermont pushes the limits of Arts.
The artist uses her engineering background to make artworks very thin, light and sensitive.
Her Polysensual Concrete sculptures react through sounds, lights and vibrations according to your magnetic field when you touch them: M.D.R. integrated into a Catholic school is laughing, AGUA installed in the headquarters of a company sings the sounds of the ocean, and LOVE SONGS emit sounds of the forest when they are pet.
Some are installed on classified areas like BALANCE at Père Lachaise cemetery and the monument-artwork INSTANTS in the first breach of the Atlantic Wall at Utah Beach.
Her monumental PHARES is the first work in history erected next to the Obelisk of Place de la Concorde; it lights up according to the heartbeat of the visitor, with the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower palpitating in unison.
After monumentality, she explores other limits, the ones of intimacy with the home-artwork MAISON GUERMONT. During 5 years, 120 talents surpass themselves for this total habitable artwork where everything is designed including the air you breathe.
In 2024, she was named a Knight of the National Order of Merit and one of 100 Women of Culture with Katherine Fleming.
