Art
A street artist,[1] Ememem creates mosaics incorporating geometric motifs in cracked sidewalks and façades. They describe this art as "a poem that everybody can read" and "a memory notebook of the city".[2] They created their first mosaic in 2011 in an alley in their hometown of Lyon, although they had already been working with ceramic; since 2016, they have created street mosaics across France,[2] and Шаблон:As of also in Barcelona (including in the Plaça Urquinaona and Sant Antoni[3]) and Madrid[1] as well as Turín, Genova, Civitacampomarano, and Terracina in Italy, Oslo, Hamar and Stavanger in Norway, Melbourne,[3] Aberdeen in UK and Carlow in Ireland.[4]
Their mosaics can easily be found in Lyon, and some visitors to the city seek them out.[5] In 2021, Ememem was commissioned by the Шаблон:Ill to decorate the location of a new Grand Paris Express stop.[1]
In addition to their street art, they have created additional commissions for exhibitions, some of which have been purchased by art collectors.[6]
Ememem describes their art as flacking, a self-coined[7] neologism derived from the French Шаблон:Lang, meaning "puddle" or "pool".[4] They have cited Шаблон:Lang by Jean Dubuffet as an influence.[8]
Personal life
Ememem is French[3] and lives in Lyon, where they are known as Шаблон:Lang, "the pavement surgeon"[2] or "the surgeon of the sidewalks".[5] They told Ynet that the name "Ememem" refers to the sound of their moped, which they ride when they go to create a mosaic.[9] They work at night to remain anonymous, and their identity is unknown; their work is generally found at dawn.[1] They have refused requests for in-person or radio interviews, and declined to state their age or gender.[6] They share images of their work on Instagram with the account "@ememem.flacking",[7] which had more than 169,000 followers Шаблон:As of.[9]
