TaTa is the combination of two vocabularies and two worlds: two individualities that become one when they work together.

TaTa is a sculptural practice based on the principle of the exquisite corpse; one artist begins the creation of a work before the other intervenes, and so on until both partners consider it complete.

Île/Mer/Froid is the collaborative artistic practice that Boris Geoffroy (born 1987, lives in Marseille, works in Salmiech, Aveyron) and Hugo Lemaire (born 1988, lives in Paris, works in Salmiech, Aveyron) have been engaged in since 2014, centered on a collective approach and the ecology of work.

Since 2021, the duo has been dedicated to working with ceramics, exploring the material’s expressive possibilities and the political implications of an artistic practice rooted in a millennia-old artisanal tradition.
