Eric Bourret offers 12 monumental installations at the towers and ramparts of Aigues-Mortes. The visitor gradually appropriates the work of the artist, during a slow and poetic journey, whose walk rhythm the discovery.
The original scenography is designed by the artist. It puts in tension medieval architecture and images posed, suspended, laid, and always monumental. Eric Bourret’s works tell the story of nature from here and abroad, open up perspectives on the surrounding landscape, surprise… But it is above all the deep plastic beauty and emotion that capture us.
The sea and the water - in immediate resonance with the history of Aigues-Mortes and its lagoon bordering the Mediterranean - constitute the main thread of the expo-promenade, revealing both the power of the narrative snapshot in the series «NO LIMIT» or «ZERO L'INFINI» or the lyrical abstraction of a material that questions the visitor in the series «PERPETUUM MOBILE» or «KOSMOS». Further on, you will be immersed in the vibrating scores of the «PRIMARY FOREST» or «ARBOS» series. Finally, Eric Bourret shares with us his view of the Camargue, in the photographs taken during his residency in January 2023, on this flat and horizontal territory, so far from the Himalayan mountains.
