VOID PROJECT
 2004-                                                                          
 

A universal form in the collective unconscious  

           


       





The shape of the Void goes back to the very first creations of humanity, to the ball of clay found in ancient cultures. Sometimes, in the absence of an immediate link between our hands and our thoughts, our fingers have a tendency to act freely, to seize a malleable material (wax, bread crumbs, clay, paper etc...) in order to knead it with the thumbs and the index fingers and to make it roll on itself with the flat of the hand in a rotating movement.

The ball thus formed, evolves most often to occupy the volume of empty space between four fingers. The fingers naturally become the mold and the energy is then materialized in a recurring and liberating form. The sphere mutates into a smooth and curved tetrahedron, almost identical in all hands.
In an equally unconscious way, a new movement of the fingers generally transforms this tetrahedron into a mathematical figure as "primary" as the sphere: a cube. This primal gesture combines the opposites: the unconscious and mathematics and independent of individuality, it refers to interiority. It is the transitory and complex form of the tetrahedron, hidden by the fingers that we seek to make emerge, "to bring to the surface".

I present the Void form in different materials (ceramic, bronze, silver, stainless steel, fabrics) and organise workshops in which the participants are invited to make their owns Voids, to bring to the level of their consciousness this form buried in the collective unconscious. Via the “Void certificates”  in several languages, I collect testimonies from people from different cultures about their experience with the shape.
