Slag Heap
sculpture - 2019
Solid and fragile, dirty and shiny, the lignite briquettes with the promising title UNION fit together to build the Slag Heap. An organized cluster of black parallelograms, it rises like an extinct volcano of preserved ash. This geometric mountain is displayed like a fortified castle to allow the viewer to discover it through its borders, without being able to enter it. Bringing to mind both the child and his construction games as much as the scorched desert landscapes, the Slag Heap takes over the space it is part of, in order to cool and transform it better.
1000 Union lignite briquettes. 290 x 290 x 88 cm
