The piece is proposed with its transport case) Biography, presentation of the artistic approach: Born on February 19, 1994 in Saint-Lô, Alexandre Nicolle lives and works in Saint-Lô. "I am an observer by nature, I notice many details, I analyse the spaces I visit, the situations I live in. These details I dwell on are often abnormal, unusual and heterogeneous elements. Like a maniac who puts an object back on a shelf, realigns a wobbly frame to the wall. I focus on details that are out of step with a hypothetical normality. It can be a situation that I find incongruous, an object used in a way other than its primary purpose or in a situation where it has nothing to do. All these oddities that I note are elements that make me smile, and carry an intellectual questioning most often social and political. Each element is like a bug in the matrix, a disruptive element, out of order, illogical or unusual. I enjoy these situations, take pleasure in giving them importance and I try to transmit them through different mediums. They bear witness to human imperfection, to the diversity of cultures and societies. " Website: https:/ /alexandrenicolle.tumblr.com/ Location of the work: Rouen - Availability of the work: May 2020
