Two Pipes, One Standing – 27,5 cm

Created since the 1970s, the Pipes represent the idea of sculpture reduced to its essential: a vertical line, a minimal gesture that does not define but delimits space. Deprived of a pedestal and sometimes suspended, they introduce a new reading of the relationship between sculpture and place. Their strength is also revealed in absence: when they are removed, the space suddenly seems incomplete. The vertical lines present in the videos of the previous room find here a physical translation in direct relation to the architecture of the place. Each Pipe is made to measure with respect to the environment that hosts it.
Whether noticed or ignored, this calibrated tension is part of the work’s strategy, conceived to provoke a tacit reflection on the relationship between body, gaze and space.
