Engagement, corrosive humor or poignant poetry, the highlit on objects chosen by the artists is immediate. You will discover in particular giant lego glasses, an immense totem-lipstick, robots...

The one does not work without the other one. For a long time in the artistic creation the games of sizes have a leading importance. They give rise to a deployment of technicality which fascinates. From the virtuosity close to the civil engineering in the monumental to the extremely accuracy and patience for a work realized with a magnifying glass.
Our period does not escape it by pushing back the limits of the nanotechnology either by competing in greatness in skyscrapers constructions.
These mechanisms lead a questioning of the order of the world and are widely used in the contemporary art.
