Aurélien Lepetit (b. Lyon, 1992) is interested in the notion of productivity through a labour-intensive practice. Over the past decade, his work ranged from endurance-based performance (2016–2020), site-specific installations (2017–2022), digital happenings (2020–2022), to textile-database systems (2023–present)—hand-dyed, woven, and embroidered works that function as archives of biometric, cosmological, and botanical data. Lepetit’s material and artistic research focus on the physical, emotional, and spiritual traces left by the body—its breaking points, resilience, and recoveries.
Whether physical, digital, or material, Lepetit treats labour as a form of training—an endurance-based process that traces how bodies and systems adapt, break, and recover.
