Abraham Poincheval (born 1972 in Alençon, lives and works in Marseille) is an insatiable explorer. Whether by crossing the Alps while pushing a capsule he used as his shelter, or by enclosing himself for a week in a rock, his—itinerant or static—
expeditions require total physical commitment. The inhabitable
sculptures which the artist conceives are laboratories allowing him to experience
time, enclosure or immobility. They are the envelope that hosts the
performer, an object that disturbs the landscape, and which exists through word of mouth.
