Marc Leschelier

Marc Leschelier (FR) operates in the encounter between architecture and sculpture. His installations refute construction as a rational enterprise, but instead imagine it as a process simply made up of accumulations of matter: shapeless and brutal. This distinctive approach seeks to abandon the normalised formalism of the architectural discipline in favour of a more raw and intelligible reality of architecture. Leschelier reduces architecture to a skeletal state in order to unravel its components and to manifest the forces that pass through it. His radical experiment begins by uplifting architecture’s expectation for functionality: deploying an intermediate language and leaving materialities unfinished, he shapes his works as a form of pre-architecture.
