Closer, wider view of the rough metal rock on the angled brushed metal slabs, showing the contrast between its craggy surface and the fine grain of the slabs.

ECAL / La Prairie

Talking about Switzerland is talking about tradition. Switzerland is deeply connected to majestic mountains, blue skies and infinite countryside. Switzerland however means also precision, technology, vanguard, culture and contemporary living. This is precisely what La Prairie stands for; precision, technology, a very interesting history and a link to the arts and culture. It is almost a century of history in contact with cutting edge technology. It is this moment, where these two worlds collide that I am very interested in capturing.‍ The sculpture was beautifully crafted by the expert hands of Fonderie Arber. Project done in collaboration with Sabine Marcelis.

Full view of the sculpture: a slim brushed metal column split by a curved slab, a rough rock on top, standing at the corner of a pale table
Two tall brushed metal slabs, one straight and one curved, with a dark rough rock wedged in the gap at the top, against a grey gradient.
Molten metal poured from a battered ladle into a dark mould in a foundry, with a bright stream landing in the opening.
Six stones in a vertical line on a grey surface, rough pale rocks alternating with silver metal versions of them.
Wide crop of the rough metal rock resting on the angled faces of the brushed metal slabs, on a dark grey background.
Pencil sketches of rocks balanced on geometric forms such as cones, cylinders, folded planes and a ring.
