"The ephemeral is at the heart of my concerns. My artistic work revolves around two distinct axes: sculpture and photography of these sculptures as testimonies of these ephemeral actions. I’m looking for a minimalist gesture, a spectacular visual action using pieces of wood that I have and that I make interact with the light in order to try to complete my proposal by finding a balance between the physical side of the object and the cast shadows. Be somewhere, do something, taking it off as it never existed and restart , elsewhere, anytime."

Yves Lappert was born in Switzerland and studied painting and three-dimensional research and visual arts at the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre in Brussels. He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and public interventions, in Switzerland, Poland, France and the United States. He has also been a decorator on several Swiss films and short films.
