Nicolas Vionnet’s sculptures and installations are perplexing and uncanny. His practice lies at the intersection between irritation and integration. His works are subtle, often ironic, and inspire curiosity through their seamless integration with the landscape or readymade object of his choosing. From installing a plane of real grass turf in the center of an artificial pond to reclaim what was lost or fashioning a walker with a floor lamp, Vionnet’s interventions are continually captivating.
