Working across sculpture, installation and photography, I use materials that carry physical and symbolic charge - leather, latex, upholstery, pharmaceuticals and supplements - to construct environments where the body is implied, displaced or put under pressure. Drawing from lived experience, the work resists fixed positions of celebration or critique. Instead, it holds tensions between attraction and harm, agency and dependency, exposing how intimacy can operate as both connection and constraint. Objects function as residues of encounters, embedding traces of contact, repetition and transformation. Rather than representing the body, I construct situations that position the viewer in relation to it -inviting proximity, discomfort or withdrawal. The work operates through this unstable positioning, where looking becomes implicated and meaning remains unresolved. https://www.marcaureledebut.com/bio daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://www.marcaureledebut.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-23 https://www.marcaureledebut.com/work-1 daily 1.0 2025-10-29 https://www.marcaureledebut.com/work-1/tumescence-series-2015present monthly 0.5 2022-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cfbdd05e09c6aacaadd7b/588f7941-3882-4989-8e13-6ddbec421dca/Tumescence_Marc-Aurele_Debut_ToF.jpg work -
