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.
