En équilibre sur le bord de la terre





At any level, in a natural or urban environment, the phenomena of accumulation generates the installation of new contexts, staging encounters and altering what is already in place. From these often, uncontrolled profusions, are born overflows as well as a certain form of instability; providing the necessary conditions for the emergence of new forms of organization.

As soon as salient units take shape, interferences take place, another space takes shape, weaving new balances or leading the whole towards chaos.




These sculptures capture these different transformations of matter, this state of fragile and tense balance. A space of noise, dissonances and introspection, they are samples of mental and spatial confrontations.


Their texture comes from the tearing and simple assembly of a single, collected precarious material, staging the idea of reappropriation and diversion, summoning the codes of popular cultures such as do-it-yourself or self-construction and the concern for economy linked to them.


They are black and belong to the same family, revealing a certain form of tension under the surface of an adjusted and controlled elegance.


They seem only forms but some have become sounds.
