Description
The challenge of my work is to imprison the plastic fragments collected along the way before they reach the sea and to make forgotten worlds spring forth from them.
These pieces are inspired by the aesthetic of curiosity cabinets and the memories of the ethnographic museum of Nîmes. Bones, phalanges have grown from the masks, because these pieces of plastic often have an organic evocation. With these small waste, I do archaeology, I collect bits of life and I tell a story. I wanted to mummify them, put them under a cloche to protect them, to make them even more precious.
These compositions open a door to a singular exoticism, populated by myths and legends like that of the Chupacabra. By placing these colored debris under a cloche, the artist transforms them into precious objects, provoking a tension between the fascination for their chromatic grace and the horror of the proliferation of this industrial material.
The assembly unfolds under a glass cloche. This figurative sculpture transforms fragments of plastic collected on the Mediterranean coast into an imaginary creature.
The gaze stops on a mixture of heterogeneous materials. Colored pieces interlock to form a hybrid body.
The artist diverts industrial waste to create a poetic narrative. Each piece of plastic becomes an anatomical element.
The structure rests on a dark wooden base. Organic shapes evoke a golden skeleton, contrasting with the blue and red hues of the bust.
The whole is inscribed in the tradition of curiosity cabinets. This staging invites reflection on ecology and the transformation of waste.
The work, created in 2025, ends with a ribbon bearing a handwritten inscription.
Presentation
David-Henri Duart develops an artistic approach that he defines as an aesthetic of waste. Collecting plastic fragments along the Mediterranean coast, he strives to capture these discards before they join the sea to make them spring forth with forgotten stories and worlds.
Through these stagings, David-Henri Duart invites the spectator to explore imaginary territories where plastic, diverted from its primary function, becomes the support of a poetic and engaged narration.
