Ulrik presents Hélène Fauquet’s sculptural reflections on seashells and the questions raised by their forms. Fauquet introduces a body of work composed of her collection of seashell souvenirs mounted on top of framed photographs, close-ups of various fluids, blobs and bubbles which have been the central subject of her previous exhibitions. Glamorously framed, the resulting objects exert the scintillating appeal of opaline alcoves. The sounds of distant waves echo across the pearlescent interior of each shell, espousing the circumvolutions of its thoughts like in a surrealist dream.
