‘Apesanteur’ is an invisible link between astronomy and mechanical watchmaking. A sculpture that sends us back to the origins of measuring time: astronomy. What is more fascinating than observing the stars?
Astronomy led us, a few millenaries ago, to one of the most fabulous inventions of mankind: the notion of time. Unlike the mastering of fire or the invention of the wheel, time is not palpable as it is a mental fabrication. Yet, it is just as decisive in the evolution of mankind.
Born in 1984 in Roubaix, Quentin Carnaille quickly made a name for himself on the art scene in northern France.
A former architecture student, Carnaille has always been fascinated by objects and the way they function. His earliest works were influenced by clockwork mechanisms, which he diverted from their primary use to create jewellery and accessories, before moving on to make sculptures and larger works with the same aesthetic and inspiration.
Carnaille’s work gravitates around thoughts on the contemporary and the futuristic, subjects which he naturally approached as a development of his interest in the past and origins of mankind.
