Flashlab – Temporary Sculptures
About
Flashlab is a Franco-German artist collective (Frank Hoffmann, Jérôme Michel, Olivier Pol Michel) exploring the fleeting nature of form and perception. Using ultra-short exposure photography, the group captures objects in motion — freezing them at their most ephemeral to create temporary sculptures made of light, matter, and movement.
What emerges are surreal yet hyperreal images that seem both sculptural and cinematic — momentary tableaux suspended in time.
The project sits at the intersection of art, science, and technology, realized in collaboration with partners including Broncolor, Phase One, and the German Aerospace Center.
Exhibitions include:
ArtScouting One, Mannheim · Kunstverein Mainz, Hyperreal · Galerie Art Present, Paris – Mickeyland · German Aerospace Center, Cologne · Gallery Spot, Paris – Cosmos · Gallery Project B, Milan – Utopia

The German French collective Flashlab playfully goes beyond this horizon and uses the flash to show us phenomena that normally elude the human gaze. The artists begin by playing with the temporal dimension of photography to achieve the impossible weightlessness of what they call ‘temporary sculptures’.
