Thomas Mopin Viers (FR,1995) developed a practice of territorial investigation focused on the use and transformation of terrestrial resources. This research is based on a spatial interpretation (from installation to object) that questions human and environmental relationships to resources and materials. From their extraction to their transformation, he studies their potential functional and fictional uses. His approach, situated at the intersection of function and experience, considers the former as a means of generating a poetics of uses and the latter as a means of questioning our relationships to practical life and to uses, to technical environments.

His reading of space is drawn to sites that hold several incompatible layers of use and meaning at once, places that function as counter-sites where the ordinary relationship to a location is simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted. This informs how he approaches a site not as a neutral backdrop but as a structure already carrying multiple, sometimes contradictory, orders.

All of his installations systematically present his research applied to the territory in question, paired with spatial productions derived from the study of on-site resources and materials.

He has received grants from Enowe-Artagon, Format Z33 and the Institut français in Rome. From the studio he co-founded, Niveau Zéro Atelier , he has exhibited his work at the Stedelijk museum, the Pavillon de l'Arsenal, HetHem Amsterdam and Lafayette Anticipations.
