The artist Christophe Doucet is invited to seize different spaces of the MÉCA through a sculptural journey.

Living and working in the department of Landes, this former forester has made his proximity to trees, wood or even nature, his subjects of study, which he exhausts and explores through the work of materials and scales in a figurative and offbeat style.
Christophe Doucet is interested in what surrounds him and chooses his materials according to what is available where he is. Wood is very present in his work because he lives in the countryside, CLOSE to the forests he knows well.
The artist works in series, he approaches the same «entity», nature, but in different ways. In a series, each piece is different because they do not take the same form but one does not deny the other because the source of inspiration is common, they emanate from the same «entity». Christophe Doucet comes to put different looks on the same thing.
“By planting his forest of giant sculptures at MECA, Christophe Doucet would like to confront us with new figures that would unexpectedly replace the old ones, those of the family of Apollos and Venus, to draw a world less anthropocentrized and more open in its cosmogonic dimension (because of the sky, the other Great Bear contemplates us). He thus tumbles the idea of universality, which he certainly likes because the use of the culbuto as a tool guarantees all rebounds. How the hares jump.” Claire Jacquet
