"For the exhibition A perte de vue, the artist proposes three works that resonate as three variations on the geography of the mountain range. Prints taken from a relief map create a tension between a macroscopic vision and a microscopic form, creating mise en abyme that punctuate the exhibition's itinerary. In Climb Every Mountain, for example, the artist proposes a sculpture that is both imposing and fragile. Placed as if in a house of cards, the immaculate casts stand precariously balanced in the 1st room. Not without reference to the candor of snow-capped peaks, the work carries within it the elevation and possible collapse of this natural environment increasingly weakened by human action."
