Biography

Born in Besançon, Franche-Comté, France to a family of industrial labourers, Augé showed interest in fine arts from an early age. His initial career was as a graphic designer, under the pseudonym "Gaspirator". In his work, Augé adopted a retro-futurist style. This caught the attention of French musician Surkin, for whom he designed several album covers. Augé's musical pursuits began with his cousin Théo Vuarnet, under the name "Microloisir". Together, they recorded their tracks at home using whatever basic equipment they had on hand, including a sequencer and computer microphone. Later, Augé met Xavier de Rosnay, with whom he formed the electronic music duo "Justice". The duo was quickly signed to the still-young music label "Ed Banger Records" in 2003, where they are still signed today. Together, Augé and de Rosnay have achieved global success, with multiple world tours and two Grammy Awards (2009 & 2019). In 2021, Augé released his first solo album, Escapades.

A Mon Seul Désir

As part of its contemporary programs, the Louvre has invited twenty young creative figures to present their take on the museum in the form of a 3:30 min film. The “Louvre Looks” initiative brings together creatives under forty – whether they come from the visual arts, poetry, film, experimental music, or fashion. They created new films in the palace itself and thus reconnect with the past of the Louvre – which hosted artist studios even before became a museum. These films go live every Thursday on YouTube. Over the course of twenty weeks, you will be given the opportunity to discover many fresh insights into the Louvre. The first film was conceived by painter Ariana Papademetropoulos and is titled Mon Seul Désir (My Sole Desire). The artist herself appears in a dream: the Salle des États and the Grande Galerie become a dreamscape – a dreamscape that is the museum itself.
