Sculpture (glass and metal)
Artist Anna Tomaszewski’s approach is reminiscent of that of an archaeologist. She searches for traces of the past, on a more or less distant scale, and is equally captivated by minerals and industrial waste. Her work questions our relationship with nature and time.
His work Nueva Sangre is a sculpture made of iron and glass. By salvaging and assembling abandoned objects and materials, Anna Tomaszewski gives them a new function as works of art. Her gesture demonstrates not only the need to reappropriate and “recycle” elements destined to be thrown away, but also the need to look at things differently. Nueva Sangre is about renewal. The sculpture represents a vegetal form, a long stem from which a bud is in the process of blossoming. The industrial debris gives birth to a flower.
In the setting of the Hotel Lyret, Anna Tomaszewski’s sculpture takes on a singular dimension. Set against the verdant landscape of the Chamonix valley, the work questions the hand of man in this natural setting, and hints at the fossils of tomorrow. The metal rod recalls the framework of the chairlifts that bring us closer to nature. Tourist infrastructures and ski lifts have transformed the valley, where the living and the artificial now coexist. Nueva Sangre symbolizes this encounter. From the inescapable obsolescence of debris, new plant species emerge and perpetuate life.
