Dialogue with the space
Tremsal doesn’t only implant his creations in the landscape; he also inscribes the landscape into his creations. In his integrations, the artist, proceeding veritable earthworks, takes possession of the territory. Declining the relief, tilting the ground, he introduces a deconstructive element: a discrete steel structure, which shrewdly highlights the artificiality of the area.
In the line of post minimalism, the artist generates an intensive unbalance, an aesthetic tension, conversing with the space.
