Il muro
One person holds up a wall that would otherwise fall. The work plays on the attempt to achieve stability by pushing one’s strength to the limit: the energy remains in its potential state. The work addresses the act of one body preventing an irreversible fall by trying to maintain an uncomfortable equilibrium.

During the exhibition here, titled Pleure qui peut, rit qui veut, the wall in the middle of the room was supported by visitors, who were invited to prop it up.
