Immacolata

This installation bears an almost extinct Italian first name. This is reminiscent of the immaculate design and architecture of churches; two elements highlighted by the whiteness of the foam and the warhead in which hangs the sign bearing a neon halo, like a modern-day Christ, radiant, industrial and cold. This installation, created especially for the Conciergerie, an art gallery near Chambéry, physically fits into the place to reveal its peculiarities and transform it. It includes an impractical swimming pool where the viewer becomes a lifeguard for an abandoned playground .//// Objects become sculptures, they seem to carry a meaning that is their own and that the viewer must guess. An invisible link connects them and entrusts them with a fiction that turns out to be more disturbing than enchanted…

Miscellaneous objects and foam sheets. 7×4 m
