FONCTION OBLIQUE
(OBLIQUE FUNCTION)
A tribute to the French philosopher and urban planner Paul Virilio (1932-2018), who initiated Architecture Principe (1963) with Claude Parent, FONCTION OBLIQUE questions the relationship between the ground and the inclined plane, based on instability and imbalance.
As a sculptural object and choreographic tool for skateboarders, this installation is intersected by a gap through which a white light emanates.
" Thus, from rift to rift, from void to void, men levitate "
- Claude Parent (1923-2016)
