Etienne Chambaud: Inexistence

3. Juli – 28. August 2021

Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Etienne Chambaud’s exhibition Inexistence, the artist’s first with the gallery. The works included in the exhibition are a scent and a sound installation, a sculptural work generating a pattern of temperatures, three light installations, glass works, bronze sculptures and modified panel paintings.

The first work encountered by the visitor is Multiplex, a scent installation invoking familiar spaces but also acting as a subtle disruption. It uses the chemical compounds present both in animal markings and in human environments to create a molecular link between tiger habitat and movie theatre. The work draws on the notion of involuntary memory: the often unconscious association of a place or an experience with a scent.
