Christian Tell

"My work revolves around the entity. I have to be in harmony with it, without any intention of mastery, so that we can work together, in concert and not impose myself too much. This work is an adventure with earth, cellulose, concrete, steel, bitumen, and patina. It is a relational game, without any preconceived project, without any preparatory sketch; a confrontation with chance that leaves room for the unfinished and the surprise. The signs offered will feed the dialogue of two beings, body to body. It is then a question of exploiting my memory by using the trace of natural events. In the heart of the matter, there is information that constitutes the essence of my creation.
