Henri Foucault's Sculptural Practice Reaffirmed at Galerie Pièce Unique

Henri Foucault's showcase at Galerie Pièce Unique in Paris, running from March 8 to May 26, 2012, solidifies his role as a sculptor, challenging the notion that he is merely a photographer. Although he has previously exhibited at the 2005 Biennale di Venezia and the 2008 Monnaie de Paris, Foucault's background in Isabelle Waldberg's studio at ENSBA Paris anchors his work within the tradition of sculpture. The exhibition includes approximately thirty pieces created since the late 1980s, addressing the closure of modernism through a dynamic interplay of form and material. Critics observe that his photographic works prioritize mass over outline. His use of materials such as lead and wood manipulates surface textures, culminating in "Espace entre nous" (2012), a piece that reflects his connection to the world.
