About this artwork
Keystone is a series of sculptures held in place by their own weight. Vertical forces oppose each other and transfer forces horizontally. This exerts pressure on the supports, keeping the system suspended. One of the sculptures, positioned centrally between the windows, is reminiscent of a keystone, where, unlike the other sculptures, the forces are exerted concentrically.

Simon Deppierraz works in sculpture, installation, drawing, and printing, drawing on a background in his training at ECAL, where he directed the lithography workshop. He experiments with stone, metal, wood, and rope, seeking balance and tension between opposing forces, mastering each step of the process to maintain a rare autonomy. His style, conceptual and technical, dialogues with architecture and space, transforming the viewer's perception. He conveys the vertigo, fragility, and invisible energy of the world, inviting everyone to experience the poetry of matter and gesture.
