On the borderline between art and scenography, Marion Flament creates installations and sculptures based on the places she invests, the materials she uses and the light that passes through them. Light, as a tool for perceiving and understanding the world, plays a central role in her work. The artist strives to reveal its materiality by capturing essential moments of transition between two states. The work is the result of this change in nature, revealing a kind of fiction between two moments of reality. New scenarios - a different relationship to space and time - are thus set in motion with each production. 

​

For the Matières Primaires exhibition, Marion Flament has chosen to present a series of four rosaries. These glazed earthenware pieces, sculpted in the image of the plant world, are suspended in space like vines. The installation comes alive in candlelight. In the adjoining room, two sculptures in natural stone and cast pewter from the Castings series are striking in their anamorphic dimension. Molten metal poured into the cavities of the stones draws their imprint. Once hardened, it detaches itself from the rock and becomes its perfect counterpart. Finally, the three glows are painted with acrylic on wood before being burned. Transformed by the effect of the molten material, the work retains traces of the passage between two states.
