Abysse – Clédat & Petitpierre
On the occasion of the exhibition Animalia or the fantasized life of animals, which presents works in which animals play a major role, the work Abysse by the duo Clédat & Petitpierre is activated on Saturday, January 29 at 3:30 pm and Saturday, March 12 at 3:30 pm.
The sculpture Abysse evokes the ocean floor or a decorative element of an aquarium. The stone is inhabited by a nudibranch, a marine gastropod without a shell. During the performance, it emerges from the rock formation and explores its environment.
