Lorina, Edith and Alice

Lorina, Edith and Alice rub shoulders, size each other up. They weave a silent dialogue, between abandonment and expectation. They replay, mimic and impose the decor of a deserted play area. Between ruins and fictional inventions, these three sculptures rethink the objects and materials of our daily life. In an atmosphere of an urban park for children, they fill the space with shapes, lines and movements that collide. Lorina oscillates between the swing and the hanged man, Edith spreads herself on the ground to better disappear there, while Alice hides her unsteadiness through three inflatable rings. /////// Lorina, Edith and Alice were given the first names of the daughters of Dean Henry Liddell as their titles. These three sisters, and especially Alice, inspired Lewis Caroll during their long walks, in particular in the writing of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Presented here as a gallery of slightly devious characters, they recreate a landscape that comes face to face with the absurd and the bizarre. The sculptures are distinguished by their disturbing strangeness, their impracticality and even their real harmfulness.
