Anne et Patrick Poirier - De Natura Rerum

The idea of the imprint is constitutive of the artistic work of Anna et Patrick Poirier: constant questioning of man’s place in the world.

While working for this edition – three imprints of leaves -, Anne and Patrick Poirier show how our sensitivity always relies on the way we perceive nature.

The imprint appears here as a sort of objective “photograph” in three dimensions, both a fragment of the universe and an allegory of our fragility. These three traces are odes to the power of life, and they also reflect the ineluctable finitude of death.
