FUEL YOUR AMBITION offers a mental space dedicated to regeneration and muscle recovery.

Based on conversations with sportspeople and coaches, a visual meditation and a mantra have been developed to accompany the post-training phase. The project explores intense physical training as a current means of deepening the self.

With Célia Picard, Hannes Schreckensberger and Johanna Himmelsbach

The exhibition is accompanied by an edition published by Revue DAS and soft concern hard concern. With the support of the ADAGP Fanzine grant.

Célia Picard and Hannes Schreckensberger have been working as a duo since 2013. They make habitable objects and devices that speak to us of the present. Using volume and installation, their work intimately links questions about things and how they are made with those of contemporary art, through an investigation of the material world, the promises of modernity and its collective mythologies. From the vernacular to the digital, via art history and scientific research, the Franco-Austrian duo revisit the past to better sketch out the future. Their work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions, including 2024 at Vallon du Villaret (Bagnols-les-Bains), 2022 at ICI-CCN (Montpellier), One Minute Space (Athens, Greece), and 2021 at Mécènes du sud Montpellier - Sète (Montpellier) and Kluckyland (Vienna, Austria). They co-edit Revue DAS, a collection of self-published publications. These publications are creative spaces and a medium for their research.

Johanna Himmelsbach is a freelance graphic designer born in Gothenburg, Sweden. She lives and works in Metz and Amsterdam. After obtaining a DNSEP from ENSAD in Nancy in 2012, she founded her graphic design studio and works with cultural institutions, publishers and contemporary artists. In 2020, she took part in Werkplaats Typografie, a two-year international and experimental graphic design programme based in the Netherlands.

Her photographic and editorial practice is informed by space. She creates visual encounters between mental and physical space, through installations, workshops and publications that question our perception of a given space (studio, gallery, landscape). In 2023, her project Swedish Summer, which explores the links between hypnosis and editing, culminating in a book that conveys an emotion: the meeting of a place and a season, received individual creative support from the Drac Grand Est. Her project Paysages pour objets (Landscapes for Objects), in which she develops an experimental method for showing objects from contemporary creation, received support from the Design Grant Scheme of the Stimulering Fonds, Netherlands.
