Projects: Virginie Gribouilli takes us into a timeless mythological bestiary tracing many facets of life on Earth. Using cold porcelain, she sculpts the mysteries of the past, the common yet precious of our present, and a mythological projection into the future in a dark, surreal universe tinged with softness and elegance. She launches several &ldquo Osseus&rdquo collections. Animal silhouettes with skeleton armor, each addressing a theme linked to our relationship with the living. Osseus spiritus are the animals currently living on Earth, those beings we take for granted and yet neglect. The Osseus pestiferus are the cursed animals we have classified as harmful and dispensable. The Osseus infinitus are a tribute to extinct species, erected in the pantheon of eternal species in the history of the galaxy. And the Osseus mysticus are our vision of the world through mythological and legendary creatures. To complete the picture, she creates a futuristic mythology: the Animist Reign. Fantastic-looking animal skeletons carry on their backs the technological vestiges of our civilization. These Divinities are the fruit of our modern world. They have the power to satiate humans, lured and trapped by the soft light of progress.

Cold porcelain sculpture 31 cm high, 27 cm large, 28 cm deep. On Earth... in the year 4699 During an archaeological dig, we found the remains of an ancient civilization that undoubtedly tells the story of a forgotten era in human history. Legend has it that there once existed minerals so powerful they could power all manner of electronic inventions.Ortrak, the goddess of underwater mining, emerged from the abyssal pits, her heart as cold as the depths. Her dominion extends across the entire seabed. With her imposing presence and subtle song, she lured mankind beneath the seas to tap into the Earth' s resources. They dug ever deeper, raising a thick fog that stagnated in the depths, preventing all visibility and all life from surviving.
