<La Cabane éclatée aux Paysages Fantômes>

This architectural form results from a collaboration between the French artist Daniel Buren and one of his former students, Xavier Veilhan. It is part of a series of “exploded cabins” that Buren began in the mid-1970s. The open structure of this aedicula offers a variety of perspectives. Inside, Veilhan’s enigmatic Paysages Fantômes [Ghost Landscapes] interact symmetrically with the vertical stripes emblematic of Buren’s work. The landscape of the forest of Fontainebleau near Paris is presented in a dematerialised form, with the figurative dimension of the photographs only reappearing when the viewer physically moves away.
