In this interview, Paul Paillet discusses a practice shaped by intimacy, addiction, memory, and the emotional charge of everyday objects. Moving between ceramics, painting, and installation, he reflects on how personal experiences, cultural references, and material processes become ways of exploring vulnerability, dependency, and human connection. Through fragile yet powerful forms, Paillet examines the tensions between comfort and violence, beauty and unease, the personal and the collective. He speaks about the objects that inhabit his works — from domestic furniture to everyday tools — as carriers of memory, desire, and hidden conflicts. This conversation offers insight into an artistic approach where autobiography is transformed into a broader reflection on social realities and emotional states.
