Nathan Pidoux – Reste
by Nathan Pidoux
Reste does not tell a story. This project presents the traces of a passage, the remains of an action that has already come to an end. Somewhere between waste, relic, and fiction, the forms occupy the space as stubborn presences: awkward, vulnerable, irreducible. The hollow branches imitate wood without possessing its density. They are skins, tubes, simulacra. Their presence oscillates between prop and debris, between construction and collapse. The shoes and the backpack evoke an absent body, an interrupted journey, the possibility of departure or abandonment. In this installation, the exhibition space is envisionned as a site where objects can negotiate with one another. Forms collide, support one another, and occasionally meet.
