Drawing from the cosmic symbolism of the exhibition title, The Age of Aquarius envisions a profound shift in human existence—one where technology and nature intertwine, where the digital and organic converge, and where humankind steps into an era of unprecedented transformation. Lemaire&Touron explore this threshold with a heightened sense of futurism, their works serving as artifacts of a speculative archaeology, as if viewed from a distant future.

The new series is infused with vibrant color and playful energy, evoking the whimsical yet enigmatic world of a circus arena. Each sculpture embodies a unique character, brought to life through a dynamic interplay of materials. Crafted from 3D-printed porcelain and hand blown glass, the works bridge past and future—both materials are rooted in ancient artisanal traditions, yet here, they are shaped through cutting-edge contemporary technologies. The 3D-printed porcelain bases incorporate elements and iconography drawn from the history of ceramic making, grounding the works in an ancient lineage of craftsmanship. In contrast, the handblown glass components introduce a forward-looking, futuristic sensibility, shimmering like fragments of a dream yet to unfold. Together, these elements construct narratives that transcend time—each sculpture telling a story of humanity and offering golden visions of a world both imagined and possible.

Through layered compositions, fluid forms, and a heightened chromatic intensity, the duo constructs a visual landscape where past, present, and future collapse into one. Their works oscillate between the hyper-technological and the primal, suggesting a world where artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and human consciousness are no longer separate entities but part of an interconnected whole.

More than a commentary on technological acceleration, The Age of Aquarius offers a poetic meditation on the fate of human experience. What remains of our present world when seen through the lens of a distant tomorrow? Are we witnessing the emergence of a new mythology, one shaped by both the digital and the elemental? Lemaire&Touron invite us to step beyond the present moment and consider the echoes of our civilization.
