Fanny Garnichat

France

Fanny Garnichat is a collage and set designer artist living and working in Paris. From fashion magazines to large-scale flyers, she cuts to sort through images that saturate and invade our lives. For Fanny, collage is a frank choice that divides the image between what we keep and what we choose to separate. From the smoothed bodies of advertising to the shiny meats of large-scale catalogues, each image has a plastic interest the she seeks to capture. Collage allows her to communicate between the antagonistic universes in order to make them resonate on common subjects.


Fanny’s collage approach questions the ambiguity of certain images. She plays with the boundaries of notions such as poetics and monstrous, sensual and disgusting, abundance and space... To stop on details, cut-outs and switch the imagination from one world to another. A dialogue is born from fragments of images released from their context thus confusing real and figurative.

Invisible to the naked eye, the infinitely small is nevertheless very real. From microbial environments to the solar system each element of the universe is part of a whole, constituting the richness of a world of two infinities. Multicellular organisms are present throughout the living world as so many artistic forms of nature.

This series explores the countless figures of the body in the scientific manner of Ernst Haeckel’s plates, which have shown the power and beauty of nature in its smallest beings. Here, symmetry and order are emphasized, revealing an organic beauty in imaginary creatures. 

This work is a paper collage made by the artist, which it then digitizes and animates.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
