Vivresse - a contraction of life and intoxication - invites you to discover a state where vital force and desire become one. The singular work of Hélène Fauquet illustrates a tension between ornamental forms and a conceptual dimension on the edge of surrealism.
Her recent work explores the themes of ornament and art, nature and artifice, as well as history and the present. The shell has gauged the work and is ready to absorb it.
Hélène Fauquet’s sculptures explore shells and the questions their shapes raise. The genesis of these sculptures is based on the gesture of obliterating her photographs with a three‑dimensional object – the shell. Framed in a glamorous way, these objects emit the sparkling allure of opaline niches. The frames go beyond their function as a simple presentation device to become a threshold to a sensitive and symbolic space.
Her work is interested in the residues of photography and the movement of images. In her recent exhibition Phenomena at the Kunsthaus Glarus in Switzerland, she develops a phenomenological approach to perception and reflects on how information is stored.
