Riddles (Sphinx Otto Protecting Earth from Humankind) de Marguerite Humeau, Bosquet de l’Arc de Triomphe, Versailles
Exhibition "Voyage d'hiver"
Born in 1986 in Cholet, France, Marguerite Humeau lives and works in London, United Kingdom.
The Triumphal Arch Grove is the first grove on “Voyage d’hiver”, opening with an installation by Marguerite Humeau: RIDDLES, Sphinx Otto Protecting Earth from Humankind. A sphinx was the first sculpture that Louis XIV erected in the gardens, as if to warn visitors of the omnipresent riddle of existence therein. A metaphor for contemporary security measures, the Sphinx Otto protects the planet from dangers and threats of which humans are the cause. The visitor walks through the labyrinth of vegetation, with its blood hues and poisoned flesh, confronted by a silent riddle: that of our humanity and its cycles, of the condition of our individual existence, and of the fragile equilibrium of our relationship to the world.
