FRAGMENTS
Just like the "fragments of a lover’s discourse" the collection designed by Pierre Charpin follows movement and has no plot except the investigation into the language of shapes. Each ceramic piece becomes a visual vocabulary wherein the process of subtraction, typical of Charpin, is functional to aggregation, to the organization of fragments of the discourse.
