Every transmission has a cast.
There is the idea — present before anyone touches it, complete before it has a name. There is the one who carries it but cannot yet give it form. There is the relay who bridges that distance. There is the receiver through whose ouverture the wave finally becomes something new. None of these figures is the artist. All of them are necessary.
Dramatis Personae is a series of works by Arnaud Quercy that gives material form to the structural actors of the ideamorphic process. Ideamorphism — the theoretical framework developed by Quercy and published by the Multimodal Institute — describes how ideas travel across minds, senses, and modalities, and locates the creative act not in the emitter but in the receiver. Dramatis Personae translates this framework into art: each work isolates one figure in the transmission chain, gives it presence and form across whatever medium the figure demands. Each work stands alone. Together they build a cast.
The series has no predetermined end. The cast will grow. The roles reveal themselves through making.
Arnaud Quercy is a Parisian artist working across painting, music, and sculpture. His practice is grounded in Ideamorphism — the principle that a work of art does not carry meaning, but triggers it. Each piece is engineered to diffract differently through each person who encounters it.
He creates and exhibits at Art Quam Anima, his gallery-atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.
