Automated reefs
But the impression remains: we are already outside the kingdom; and from
the first glance, the standard partition of the world between human, animal,
vegetable and mineral is disqualified. In this ecosystem, to the condition of a
humanity that has irrevocably entered the Anthropocene era…
In the image of a nature that is also post-human, Hadrien Gérenton’s sculptures embody the advent of a new materiality whose original purity could be nothing more than a vague mythological tale.
For the artist, the crossroads between the organic and the chemical, where the abstract parasites the anthropomorphic, are extended by an installation of platforms entitled Landscapes merging platform.
