Alexandre David

Alexandre David’s sculptures and installations evoke the daily use of architecture. He creates volumes within which we can move, or upon which we can sit. His works are often built in such as a way as to create the impression that we are walking along a wall, turning a corner or strolling around a square. However, he does not attempt to represent daily experiences that relate to space, nor to make architecture the theme of his work. Instead, he wants to create an experience where the awareness of architecture is essential.
