Jean-Pascal Flavien Model / Mask 6, 2019

The model is cast in aluminum from sheets of cardboard with laser-cut incisions. Several sections of each sheet were folded to create the angled elements and differently sized openings. The individual works are variants of the folding house built in summer 2016 as permanent installation in the gardens of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco. The model can be hung on the wall or placed on a plinth. The installation draws attention to the variability of the model: on the wall, its mask-like, sculptural quality is foregrounded, placed on a low plinth the models architectural properties become more dominant.
