With Capsule, Luxembourg Art Week takes over a dozen vacant spaces in the city center. Each activated space will remain visible from the street around the clock.
Victor Cord’homme is an artist born in 1991 to a French father, a cinema decorator, and a Danish mother, a painter. He spent most of his childhood between a village near Chartres and Als, a small island in southern Denmark. After graduating from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2017 with honors, he developed his artistic practice in Dominique Gauthier’s painting studio and Tadashi Kawamata’s sculpture studio. This training allowed him to combine painting techniques with sculpture methods such as forging and ceramics.
Introduced to travel from a young age and enriched by his experiences in Southeast Asia, he creates installations inspired by his journeys and daily life, linking the different forms of artistic expression he employs. Each sculpture and painting has a specific role in the exhibition space. Symbols, motorized sculptures, and colors work together to present the essence of a world—a poetic and light synthesis, or an embodiment of the viewer's imagination.
This is also true of his latest research at the Grandes Serres de Pantin, which led to interactive sculptures, using solar panels and sensors that respond directly to elements present in the exhibition space. His paintings, dystopian worlds marked by the Anthropocene, explore themes such as space exploration, environmental protection, and overconsumption, placing humanity at the heart of his reflections with joy and lightness.
