My eyes ache to clos

Angèle Challier Fontaine – My eyes ache to clos

My eyes ache to close is an installation that questions the dynamic between public space and the invisible traditions of the private sphere. The notion of “care” is symbolized by the time and attention invested in the meticulous wrapping of thread around each structure. The work is composed of six objects extracted from the urban environment, each of these elements, typically encountered in the street, is reimagined through repetitive gestures. The abstraction of use of the six selected objects reveals their aesthetic aspect and intrinsic similarities. Stripped of their original function, they become enigmatic sculptures, suspended between their utilitarian past and their new identity.
