Ephemeral art installation in public space
Arts éphèmeres, Marseille, France, June 2024
Reused lockers, mirrors, padlocks
2,5m length, 2 m width, 2.5 m height
The locker, far from being just a piece of furniture, embodies the threshold between the athlete and the field, a space where vulnerability and encouragement intertwine, creating a zone of deep introspection. Mirrors in the locker rooms are key allies in this transformation. By confronting the viewer with their multiple facets, they embody a geometric transformation where body, anatomy, and movement create a visual choreography.
The installation consists of reused locker with attached mirrors. Their arrangement allows viewers to see themselves from various angles, observing a multiplication of their image. The locker, a ready-made object, represents the athlete's body, an intimate and personal space, constantly transforming through sporting trials. Its solitude reminds us that physical and emotional transformation is often an inner, solitary journey. Yet, the lockers come together as a team, showing that individual transformation often occurs within a community. Each element offers a window into the soul of sports, an immersion into the depth of physical and emotional transformation that every athlete experiences, both alone and in a team.
