Clément Borderie creates installations that are akin to the art of sculpture and painting. He wants to capture the essence of a place, create its spatio-temporal identity card, and reveal what is imperceptible. In other words, those minute details that we take for granted. In nature, he installs metal structures of various shapes and sizes, on which he stretches canvases. In this type of setup, he lets the canvases react with the elements, which results in unique patterns and markings over the passage of time and the transition of seasons. Thenceforth, these blank canvases become a space for experimental creation.
