Toutes les colonnes n'ont pas un coeur de pierre. Céleste Richard-Zimmermann

Since 2008, the Association des Amis du Palais de Tokyo has awarded a prize to an emerging artist in order to support and promote contemporary creation in France. The winning proposal of this edition, by Céleste Richard-Zimmermann, is a reflection on symbols of power centred on a broken column, hollow and unstable. Sculptures, fragments and sound devices make up a space traversed by gestures of destruction and transformation, where the memory and future of our buildings are replayed, questioning resistance and the circulation of forms.
