“A cavity open to light, where human gesture meets the breath of the spiritual.”
Thanks to an invitation from the museums of Soissons, we were able to revisit “Une espèce d'Éternité” and place it in a new space of resonance: the crypt of Saint-Léger Abbey.
Faced with this place steeped in history, designed as a stone womb open to silence, opening the heart seemed obvious.
This symbolic gesture reveals a passage: where biology meets the spiritual, where the organ ceases to be merely matter and becomes a place of circulation, memory, and inner vibration.
In the sacred darkness of the crypt, the work unfolds like a fragment of intimacy exposed to the world, a fragile presence that dialogues with the eternity of the walls.
It then becomes a space for breathing, for passage, for the elongation of time—an offered, suspended form that questions duration, vulnerability, and the invisible part of life.
