Lointains de Bernard Calet - La Maréchalerie

Cultural

With this proposal, Bernard Calet continues his exploration of the themes that underpin his entire body of work: landscape, architecture, and the place and role of humans and living beings.

The nature of a place, its spatiality and temporality, determine Bernard Calet's artistic production. Based on a reflection on the forms of language that the context induces, it is installation in particular—organized by sculpture, still images, video, and sound production—that shapes Bernard Calet's sensitive landscapes.
Based on his observations of inhabited spaces, Bernard Calet travels and composes unique or fantastical narratives in which the resulting visual images lead to distant perspectives, past or future.
“The inhabited” is conceived as the relationship to places insofar as they constitute the concrete and symbolic referent of human practices.
At La Maréchalerie, the Lointains installation is “one and many” of these anthropized landscapes.
