Éphémères Durables
This sculptural ensemble consists of three aluminum masts on which life-size bronze cast objects sit. At the top of the masts, a skull, a candlestick and a pineapple sit alongside books, a television, a trophy and a mirror ball.
The work plays on the contradiction between the idea of the lasting monument and representations linked to the idea of vanitas and memento mori that we find in the genre of still life, intended to remind us of our vain and ephemeral nature on this earth.
The work was created following the construction of the Maison de la littérature, in accordance with the Quebec government's policy of integrating the arts into architecture.
