The sculptural installation “The Invisible Realms” draws on the codes of display. In this new edition, the bases are inspired by places of worship and the devices used for preserving relics. Each display case becomes a discreet altar, concealing a precious fragment. This interplay with religious symbols reinforces the ambiguity of the installation: between sacralization and profanation, between the ordinary object and one imbued with mystery.
These display cases bring together fictitious artifacts, borrowing from different cultures and drawing from the imagination. One of them, featuring a lower level, evokes a crypt hidden beneath a church. Another, through its arrangement of forms and textures, appears to echo influences from African sculpture while incorporating references to brutalist architecture. Through these hybridizations, The Invisible Realms reactivates a dialogue between heterogeneous temporalities and aesthetics, creating an uncertain territory where memory and fiction intersect.
