Michel Blazy's Anti-Modern Escargorium and Soap Bubble Experiments

artist · 2026-04-23

Michel Blazy has recently explored all techniques of soap bubble making. His work Escargorium is an indoor snail garden made of lentils, watercress, catnip, tart molds, funnels, gravel, and water. In this anti-modern piece, effort and concentration matter more than formal value; the result is merely a trace of an ephemeral process.
