A striking example of this risk-taking can be found in the numerous attempts to create the “Planetum” destined to be presented at the Château de Chambord in the exhibition “Arborescences” from May 30, 2021.
It is a sphere from which a multitude of entangled human bodies escape, some of which seem to be struggling and screaming. This masterful work is presented in its wax form. This material contributes with its texture and color to give the feeling of a mass of flesh struggling for life against death. It is terrifying.
The “Planetum” is an artistic challenge but also a technical one. Indeed, the trio investigated several solutions before finding the right one. Despite the failures, they never gave up and finally succeeded in finding the solution that makes this work possible by encasing it in a transparent resin. During our visit, the “Planetum” is still presented naked. We are really impressed.
