His creative practice, expressed at the crossroads of anthropology, engineering, and poetry, is faithfully illustrated in his achievements.
“I’m trying to find an honest, generous path [...] with the idea that, somewhere between the hard economic data, there are users, people.”
Free from scales and domains, Jean-Marie Massaud presents innovative and progressive solutions that refresh lifestyles and systemic solutions responding to contemporary
challenges.
In his mind, a project today must synthesise three broader stakes: individual and collective fulfilment and expression; economic and industrial concerns; and environmental matters.
His creations, whether speculative or pragmatic, explore this now imperative paradigm: reconciling pleasure with responsibility, the individual with the collective. “The human, economic, and environmental stakes, often perceived to be in conflict, are nevertheless inseparable. It is our responsibility to create the conditions of their mutation for their mutual benefit. Therein lies innovation, true value creation for new, qualitative and symbiotic growth.”
