L’Espace de Samothrace is today’s mapping of the Le Louvre.
This study analyzes how the human body maps itself against objects. The legend is a series of snapshots of people interacting with the sculpture [La Victorie De Samothrace]: it reveals the space between body and object: body and spectacle: body and touch.
The base of the sculpture is a boat; more specifically the prow of the boat. The relief’s remind me of the profile of hands, hands, groupings of hands, which have felt with an incomparable depth. As people pass by…their shadows touch and feel their way around the sculpture. It is just another way to reveal the presence of the Samothrace.
