About the Item
Les globes sont façonnés à partir d'un amalgame, combiné à d'anciennes racines de teck recyclées ou le bois de tamariniers et de résines. Pour ses globes noirs, il utilise aussi les sables volcaniques des plages du Nord de Bali. Les résultats sont représentatifs de la vision de Helgen qui allie une technique complexe et moderne de la résine, un profond respect des arbres, de leur environnement : où ils ont prospéré puis sont morts, et les traditions d'une longue lignée de maîtres sculpteurs balinais et d'artisans dont le savoir-faire se transmet depuis des générations.
Les globes s'adaptent à la beauté et à l'imperfection des pièces de Boi. Avec cette matière naturelle, il a créé aussi bien des globes que des meubles (tables, chaises...) qu'il associe dans ces œuvres à d'autres matériaux comme le sable volcanique, la résine, la laque ou le métal.

Bruno Helgen
Was born in Paris en 1959. He lives and works between Bali and Paris. Bruno Helgen studied at the National School of Fine Arts of Epinal. Until 1986, he worked as a photographer for the collective Press Agency. He worked in film production before starting his career in the design industry in 1995.
Helgen Globes are fashioned out of ancient recycled teak and tamarind heartwood as well as state of the art resins. For his black globes, the artist uses volcanic sand from the black beaches of Northern Bali. The results are dictated by Helgen’s vision; through the science of the resins and the micro- environments in which these long dead trees both flourished and met their demise. This tradition came from Balinese master carvers and craftsmen whose skills have been passed down from generation to generation.
Bruno Helgen’s design uses local teak wood from Bali and the final shape of the globe is adjusted to the beauty and imperfections of the piece of wood. With a wooden base, he also creates furniture (tables, chairs...), that he mixes with volcanic sand, lacquer and metals.
The globes are available in an array of colors, each with a highly individualistic rendering of our planet, the wood telling its own understory.

- Lost in reflexionBy Guillaume LachapelleLocated in Montreal, QuebecText by Terence Sharpe There is a moment in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972) when the character Hari commits suicide by drinking liquid oxygen. As she is not actually a human, but an artificial hybrid product of the mysterious planet and the protagonists’ memories, she heals rapidly and is alive again minutes later. Her choice to take her own life is poignant, seemingly the action of a being becoming aware of its hopeless infinitude. Her realization that while the men will die on the space station or elsewhere, her existence is that of immortality, a deeply alienating notion that causes her to seek her own destruction. The Montreal artist Guillaume Lachapelle has one work that prompts a sense of eternal alienation that echoes Hari’s tragedy. The work greets the viewer with a empty doorway flanked by clinically white bookshelves...Category
