Hello, I'm Lorenzo Papace

I create visual and scenographic worlds in paper, where atmosphere, architecture, dreams and ruins meet.

This world also extends into music and writing.

My Universe

My work grew out of a vital need for freedom, imagination, and transformation.

From an early age, art and nature became essential refuges, two forces that still shape my visual and musical language today. Music opened a first path through the piano; landscapes taught me how to feel space and atmosphere.

Later, my studies in Spatial Design and Interior Architecture in Lyon gave this sensitivity a more precise structure. Since then, I have developed a practice where image, space, narrative, and material meet, always balancing construction and poetry.

I am drawn to dreams, ruins, architecture, forgotten stories, strange beauty, and the quiet presence of mystery and the fantastic. Since moving to Ireland, this world has opened a new chapter through Paper Dublin, a body of work inspired by the architectures and atmospheres of Dublin.

These fragments of the city become visual and poetic forms, part observation and part imagined world.

Current bodies of work

Paper Dublin

Paper Dublin is my current visual body of work, developed since moving to Ireland.

Through paper, I explore Dublin’s architectures, shadows, and urban atmospheres. Doors, facades, churches, fragments of infrastructure, and fleeting silhouettes become starting points for a visual language suspended between observation and imagination.

Paper Dublin is not about documentary description alone. It is a way of translating the city into poetic objects, images, and series.

Ödland

Ödland is my musical project, founded in 2008. Through songs, arrangements, and acoustic instruments, I create a mysterious and melancholic universe, sometimes dark, sometimes touched with irony. Tales, forgotten folklores, travel, and strange beauty all feed this musical world, where each song becomes a small fiction of its own. Ödland is a space for atmosphere, narrative, and emotional depth, carried by intricate melodies and French lyrics.

Method, Material & Process

I work by hand, with patience, precision, and close attention to material.

Paper is at the heart of my visual practice. I am drawn to its lightness, its fragility, and its ability to hold both structure and imagination at once.

Whether I am building a paper work, shaping a scenographic form, composing an image, or developing a musical piece, I look for the same balance: precision and atmosphere, construction and poetry, clarity and mystery.

Each project begins with careful listening, to a place, an image, or a feeling, and grows through composition, detail, and a slow process of staging.

Selected collaborations

Over the years, I have developed selected collaborations with institutions, brands, and cultural partners such as Arte, Hermès, the Musée d’Orsay, Miu Miu, Nike, and Galeries Lafayette.

Whether for a scenographic commission, a visual project, or a moving image, I approach each collaboration with the same attention to atmosphere, detail, and coherence.
