Wood, mirror - 2013

This sculpture is composed of a door, set on the floor and held half-open by a doorstop, which gives a view of a mirror.

Whether seen as a secret trapdoor opened hurrie-dly or simply as a large book that couldn’t be put down, Clerestory offers an unexpected escape.

Creating the illusion that the piece of the floor surrounded by the doorframe has disappeared, the sculpture allows one to catch a glimpse of a space that has been ignored up until that point, inviting us to change our horizontality, and to overturn our perception of the Real.
