Our Apparatus

Each piece of equipment is the source of an original exploration of space, which the creation keeps track of.

The creation of vertical apparatus is the hallmark of Retouramont’s creations. A wall allows 2-dimensional evolution, while our aerial apparatus opens up an extra dimension. All directions of space are open thanks to these apparatus, from the surface of walls to the ground and the immensity of the void. In the company’s latest pieces, the mobility of these objects transforms them into veritable vessels, with multiple trajectories initiated by the artists who inhabit them.

To project oneself on the city is to open these limits that are the walls. They become immense screens to welcome the shadow of our intimate partner and invent a new narrative.

Some nights, these stone beings slowly extract themselves from the architecture. Under the foundations live immense caryatids that support the structure, underground sisters, giants with shadowy bodies. They come out of the basement and meet for night dances.
