Être-là
2023
This piece is the starting point for a series exploring the relationship between two qualities of material. The transparency of glass and the opacity of rubber. The tire, like a ring, allows 2 sheets of thermoformed glass to emerge on either side of its centre, bulging outwards. In this way, the deformation of the glass distorts our perception of the space that emerges through the ring. All this is reinforced by a strip of mirror around the inside of the tire.
Our gaze is thwarted in its attempt to freeze the world from a single angle. A call for a different kind of presence in the world becomes possible.
