Lucie Lanzini elaborates her works, that is situated between sculpture and installation, by means of tension. She creates them by juxtaposing materials that are often paradoxical – raw, organic, or moulded – at scales that disrupt the original function of the elements she symbolizes. Thanks to demanding production techniques, including sandblasting, silverplating, oxidation of glass, moulding, imprinting, etc. – Lanzini is forever pushing at the limits of her material knowledge. She is drawn to materials for their functional value and their capacity to transform the object. The result is disturbing, sometimes strange (…) She has fun with trompe l’œil, but does not believe in this illusion. Instead, she reminds us of the functions of a sculpture.
