Victoire Inchauspé’s work explores the cycles of nature — from birth to death, from seed to dried flower. Deer, spiders, bees, bats, sunflowers and thistles come together in imaginary worlds and narrative landscapes. Using burnt wood, molten bronze and blown glass, her installations celebrate the duality of living things, poised as they are between absence and presence, the fleeting and the forever, force and fragility. Victoire Inchauspé’s work is a poetic and melancholic reflection invoking states such as vulnerability, disappearance and regeneration, which are as personal as they are universal.

Inspired by the artist’s early memories of her family home, Nothing/Everything to remember is as much about abstract ideas as concrete situations — crossing a threshold, finding shelter, feeling welcome. Set in disused railway repair workshops, Victoire Inchauspé’s house is intended as a protective space for the vulnerable and the suffering. Reminiscent of ancient funeral rites and practices, the boat evokes a personal and private experience of loss. Reduced to a few withered flowers, the living being has withdrawn from the scene and, through their absence, evokes that which is no more. At the wate, sunflowers will soon bloom and stars will twinkle because, by embarking on a journey to another world, Nothing/Everything to remember beckons us to a form of rebirth.
