L'Absence, 2009

For the new School of Architecture in Nantes Atelier Van Lieshout has made l'Absence. As a sculpture, l'Absence fits into the architectural constraints of the site. The result is a moving and living mass, with multiple protuberances, incarnation of an instinctive gesture, without any delimitation or any function. A living space where we wish discussions will happen. L'Absence is in turn a bar, a sculpture, a comment on today's architecture that will, without a doubt, fuel students' imagination.
