La Fratrie brings together the brothers Karim and Luc Berchiche. Working four-handed, they sculpt miniature islands suspended under glass, with a precision that questions humanity’s relationship to its environment.
Karim Berchiche (born 1978 in Le Quesnoy, a graduate of Sciences Po Paris) and Luc Berchiche (born 1981 in Le Quesnoy, with a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Lille III) compose airborne rocks made of many materials: so many worlds in themselves, uprooted from their original space, literally “places that do not exist”. These meticulous fictions carry narrative scenes, often allegorical, and a reflection on the brevity and fragility of life.
Their work has been shown at the Domaine Pommery (Reims), the Fondation Datris, the School Gallery (Paris), the Espace Croisé (Lille) and in galleries in Stuttgart and Brussels. Galerie Diego Escobar presents their sculptures in Marseille.
