67 - Fabrice Ausset

Fabrice Ausset Mediterranean Rug Wool, silk, and lurex, hand-knotted Year created: 2018 L493.2 W685.8 cm With “Méditerranée,” Fabrice Ausset transposes the vision of a winter seabed onto the scale of an entire room: the clear, cold water reveals the movement of the seaweed and the contours of the rocks, like a postcard viewed from above. The rug becomes an image, almost a painting, and the floor a landscape to explore. The lurex, blended with wool and silk, catches the light like reflections on the surface of the water. Its size—nearly five meters by seven—makes it an exceptional piece.
