artist/ Victoire D’Harcourt

France

From intimate sculptures to the monumental work proudly displayed in the courtyard of Necker Hospital, Victoire d’Harcourt speaks to us of balance and Alliances.
Her work as an artist of solidarity speaks to every heart.

At the outset, it’s all about well-behaved circles, gently intertwined. Solid and sure of themselves. Solid and united forever. What could be more soothing than these indestructible, indissoluble bonds, which give the feeling that nothing can separate them. Everything seems so established and so durable. We feel so reassured.

And yet, on closer inspection, this omnipotence is more fragile than it seems, and these great circles are hanging by a thread.
United or free? It’s too late, the artist has chosen.
Impossible to separate at the risk of breaking them.
