Craftsmanship, fine art and publishing converge in an unprecedented collaboration between Emmanuelle Luciani and Fondation d’entreprise Hermès.
Loose Joints is proud to announce Passé Présent Futur, a groundbreaking collaboration between Fondation d’entreprise Hermès, curator Emmanuelle Luciani, and Loose Joints Publishing. Contributing to the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès' prestigious Artists' Residencies series, this new chapter sees Luciani inviting four artists—Jenna Kaës, Mounir Ayache, Salomé Chatriot, and Jacopo Pagin—into the heart of Hermès’ production ateliers.
Under Luciani’s visionary curatorship, each residency dissolves the boundary between classical craft and contemporary myth-making. Her distinctive interdisciplinary ethos as founder of Marseille-based Southway Studio infuses the program with a spirit that is both reverent of the past and alive to the present. Each artist has been invited to engage deeply with the savoir-faire of Hermès artisans working in silk, leather, crystal and metal—resulting in wholly new artistic gestures shaped by the material logic of the atelier.
Anchored by a newly commissioned photographic series by Brazilian photographer Marcelo Gomes, whose sensuous, textural images follow each artist at work and mirror the tactility of process, the publication also includes further contributions by French photographer Tadzio, a Fondation d’entreprise Hermès long-term partner, skilled in capturing crafts and material through a sensitive approach. Through these images, alongside interviews with the artists and the artisans who supported them, Passé Présent Futur emerges as a singular, experimental book object offering a deconstructed lens into the process of making.
About Emmanuelle Luciani:
Emmanuelle Luciani (b. 1986) is a curator, artist and artistic director based in Marseille. In 2018, Luciani founded Southway Studio, a collaborative artistic ecosystem housed in Pavillon Southway, a domestic exhibition space and residency in Marseille opened in 2020, hosting visual artists, musicians and writers.
Her hybrid exhibitions and performances – including Cool as a State of Mind (2015), Pre-Capital (2017, with Nicolas Bourriaud), Les Chemins du Sud (2019), Anima Mundi (2020), Drive to Survive (2022), Bella’s Inferno (2024), and Amleth13 (2025) – draw on wide-ranging references: funerary sculpture, custom car culture, football, Romanticism, the Pre-Raphaelites, and vernacular craft traditions. Working across disciplinary boundaries, Luciani creates what she terms “time bubbles” – immersive visual worlds in which historical and contemporary forms are collapsed into speculative, symbolic tableaux.
About Fondation d’entreprise Hermès:
Since 2008, the actions of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès have been guided by a single, unifying conviction: “Our gestures define us and show who we are”. In other words, by acting for the well-being of all, we grow and become better human beings. The Foundation’s four core missions enact its commitment to targeted philanthropy and support through in-house programmes designed to transmit skills and expertise, create new works of art, protect the environment and encourage gestures of solidarity. The Foundation supports its beneficiaries as they contribute to building tomorrow's world.
