Residency at Tache Papier gallery, Dijon, 2025

Pêle-Mêle is a construction game where everyday forms are transformed into playful sculptures—unstable architectures to be assembled and dismantled at the whim of the imagination.

Cut from offcuts of old wooden flooring, each piece carries the memory of its material and evolves with the hands that bring it to life. Somewhere between playful sculpture and modern artifact, Pêle-Mêle is an invitation to shape life, to find play in the ordinary, and to turn the unexpected into architecture.

With Pêle-Mêle, building becomes a poetic act—a dialogue between order and accident, a balancing game where each composition tells a new story, a world in constant transformation.

Pêle-Mêle takes shape in an exhibition where each sculpture, born from the assembly of these reclaimed oak pieces, becomes an ephemeral form captured through photography. Stacking, balancing, dismantling, rebuilding—these gestures, like relics of a reinvented everyday, give rise to fragile architectures, playful totems that shift into living poetry.

The photographs freeze these fleeting moments, immortalizing the structures before they vanish, like snapshots of a reality in motion. Pêle-Mêle is a conversation between gesture and image, between ever-evolving matter and its captured reflection. The exhibition invites us to see the ordinary differently, to find beauty in each assemblage, and to embrace the endless possibilities of construction and deconstruction.
