Fluenter

In situ sculpture

Chapelle Notre Dame de la Pitié, Mellionnec, France (22).
Sculpture presented during the Atmosphères parcours +, Itinéraires Bis, 2010.

Painted MDF with iron oxide and linseed oil.

The sculpture, chanted in three movements echoing the transverse beams of the chapel, is suspended like the ex-voto dedicated to sailors.
But here, it is the water of the site that the evocation is aimed at: the canal from Nantes to Brest, which passes at the foot of the chapel, forms at this point a lake followed by two locks, with as many variations flow and sound.
The stylized organic shapes of the elements dialogue as much with the motifs of the pulpit, the sand pits and the stained glass window as with the rhythm and the sonorous rustling of the water which runs through the site. They are inspired by the shapes taken by water when propagated in a viscous medium like oil.
Fluenter translates a synesthesia between shapes and sounds, between sensitive atmosphere and plant/animal evolution.
