Atelier Alain Le Bras, Nantes, September 2013
A work on the notions of absence and memory,
Jean-Christophe
is a symbolic representation of a vanished presence.
To fully grasp it, one must literally step aside and let the light reveal what is at work at the heart of this artwork.
Through a refined installation in which marble sand and ginkgo biloba are articulated, the invisible glue reveals the absence of a Loved one.
