About this artwork
This series brings together fragments of sliced stone, revealing their internal patterns and a portion of their outline. By cutting into the material, the eye discovers the intimate geology of the pebble—its lines, its veins, its invisible densities. Each piece becomes a mineral landscape, at once massive in its nature and fragile in its thickness.
By drilling holes in it, a rope can be threaded through: the tension of the thread, through simple… friction, ensures the stone's suspension. This elementary support system defies gravity and plays with the perception of weight. Suspended in this way, these thin slices seem almost to float, as if the very solidity of the mineral were permeable to air.

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.
