‘Outre-tombe’ explores the duality of progress through traces of decadence and signs of hope. The installation juxtaposes spacecraft, symbols of expansion, with missiles, bearers of destruction. It also pays homage to the awakeners who, through their acts of safeguarding, give meaning to human existence.
