"An urban planner and sinologist, Jérémie Descamps works at the intersection of space and language in an un-disciplined manner. With a PhD in geography, his work focuses on the ethos of urban professions and actors, the sociology of organizations related to urban professions, and the artistic and scientific, visual and narrative languages through which the space of societies can be sensitively understood.
Along with Ouissem Moalla, he is part of the art-science duo PROCESSUS. Since 2023, they have been exploring mental representations of space and territory, as well as their collective memory, through dedicated research-creation protocols."
On the occasion of the closing of Jérémie Descamps' studio, after five years of residency at Motoco, an exhibition, a performance, and a public display took place to mark his departure from the space. Under the theme "The Street Peddler," Jérémie Descamps paid tribute to the many peddlers he encountered during his time in Beijing, who gradually disappeared as the city expanded and transformed.
