At first glance, Julien Dubuisson’s Pavillon nocturne (2015) looks like a monolith, but this cubic sculpture is made up of eighteen elements, replicas of famous sculptures throughout the history of art. Thus, a Cycladic head from the 3rd millennium BCE, a death mask from the end of the nineteenth century, and a cube by Giacometti come together in what Thomas Golsenne calls an “anachronistic caress”. In order for these connections to occur, changes of scale were necessary. Julien Dubuisson developed a very particular moulding technique: like a spectator facing the work, the artist first works from a photograph to produce a first version of these entities before moulding them several times. For him, the act of making is a mode of knowledge and its reiteration is the path that it takes.
