"J'allie la théorie à la praxis (action) en passant par la poesis (fabrication), la pratique et la fiction". Benjamin Loyauté
Né en 1979, Benjamin Loyauté vit et travaille entre Bruxelles, Beyrouth et New-York. Il développe une pratique qui mêle films, sculptures, interventions publiques et installations immersives.

Inventeur du " prêt-à -porter ", Pierre Cardin est surtout connu pour ses créations dans le domaine de la mode et des accessoires. Il a pourtant développé une ligne de mobilier unique au cours des années 1970, transposant ainsi son approche sculpturale de la mode dans le design domestique.
