Marc-Aurèle Debut works across sculpture, installation, and sound, constructing environments in which bodily presence emerges through repetition, pressure, accumulation, and material tension. Drawing from lived experience within queer cultures and social spaces, his practice examines how desire, intimacy, and power become embedded within objects, surfaces, and systems of circulation.

Using materials such as upholstery foam, leather, latex, resin, springs, pharmaceuticals, supplements, and collected garments and objects, he transforms processes of stretching, casting, wiring, stitching, and assembly into sculptural structures that oscillate between attraction and discomfort, softness and control. Repetition functions both as a method of production and as a conceptual framework through which bodies, emotions, and desires are organised, circulated, and consumed.

Rather than representing the body directly, Debut approaches it through traces, residues, and repeated forms. His installations position viewers within environments where intimacy becomes physically perceptible, exposing tensions between vulnerability and protection, attachment and replacement, connection and consumption.
