La Veuve Célibataire (the maiden widow)
type: design and fabrication of artwork for Etienne Chambaud exhibition "Le Musée Décapité" // location: Sies+Hoke Gallery, Dusseldorf, Germany // steel + crystal // dimension variable
description: La Veuve Célibataire (the maiden widow), a crystal blade (a women) without counterweights, a museum of separations and the accumulation of forms of severance and exclusion. An unsteady yet immobilized mobile, a freedom within constrains (Did de Marquis de Sade really have a door installed in the middle of his cell at La Bastille? A door that he could freely open and close?). A restricted kind of freedom. *
