About the Item

Chanel unique fossil scupture part of the ''Collapse'' collection : About Collapse: Ecological peril and social emergency may not be fantasies. What if our civilization collapses tomorrow? What if we were ourselves, the actors of our own extinction? Edouard Merzouk presents his Fossil Sculptures. His artistic vision of the collapse. Fossilized objects of Luxury or everyday life objects , they have marked generations of our society, from hyper-consumerism and disposables, to its paroxysm. These fossils are a trace of this materialist civilization, where the object has acquired a sacred dimension, where image and appearance have become its only essences. The material used is the Stone of Saint Leu. During the reign of Louis XIV, when classical architecture arrived, the Stone of Saint Leu was used in the construction of the most beautiful monuments of Paris and its region. (Palais du Louvre, Palace of Versailles, Palais Bourbon, Invalids and many others....) The stone of Saint Leu is extracted in open-air quarries in the Oise. It is a limestone from the Paris region.
